Lionel Messi made his comeback in Inter Miami’s previous game but spent only 45 minutes on the field. This coming Saturday, he’s expected to play more, so we can expect to see some Messi magic in the Sporting KC vs. Inter Miami game.

Can Sporting Kansas City Deal With Messi?
Sporting Kansas City is 2-4-1 this season with a 12-10 score differential. Their only loss happened against Galaxy in Los Angeles, but it was a close game. In fact, Sporting KC had a 2-0 lead at halftime.
When it comes to their wins, one happened against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Both of those happened within the last four weeks. In their last game, Sporting KC drew 3-3 with the Portland Timbers.
Obviously, these guys are great offensively, but their defense isn’t great. This is something that needs to worry them as this coming Saturday, they’re playing against the Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami.
Inter Miami Determined to End Its Poor Run
Lionel Messi missed five of Inter Miami’s games in the 2024 season. They went 1-1-3 in those games. He made his comeback last weekend, getting on the pitch in the second half. Messi made an impact straight away, scoring a goal and helping his team get a 2-2 draw with the Colorado Rapids.
Messi and his teammates did okay in that game, but they did not win. As a result, they’re without a single win since mid-March, meaning that they’re hungry for victories. Despite a relatively poor run, they’re still flying high in the Eastern Conference of the MLS.
The Herons are 3-3-2 overall with a score differential of 16-12. They are the team with the most goals scored in the 2024 MLS, while their defense is among the worst.
Sporting Kansas City vs. Inter Miami Prediction
It’s high time for Inter Miami to start winning again. Even without Messi, the Herons look strong enough to dominate the MLS, while with the soccer GOAT on the field, they should be destroying every single opponent.
He played roughly 45 minutes in Inter Miami’s last game, but this time, we expect him to be in the starting XI. With him on the field, The Herons should do great, especially knowing that Sporting KC is horrible at the back.
