Inter Miami’s Commitment to the 2025 Leagues Cup
Inter Miami is clearly prioritizing the Leagues Cup this season. Their recent performance reflected this focus; after a strong 3-1 win against UNAM Pumas, they suffered a surprising 4-1 defeat in an MLS derby against Orlando City. Most of the players who excelled in the Leagues Cup match were on the field for the derby but couldn’t replicate their form.
Star players like Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Rodrigo de Paul showed outstanding performances in the Leagues Cup but struggled against their local rivals. In goal, Oscar Ustari returned as the starting goalkeeper but conceded four goals due to defensive lapses, though he managed to make 8 saves out of 12 attempts, which was a decent individual effort.
UANL Tigres’ Impressive Offense
UANL Tigres have been prolific in front of goal during the 2025 Leagues Cup with seven goals in three games. Angel Correa, formerly with Atletico Madrid, has been particularly effective, scoring four times so far.
The momentum continued into their recent Liga MX match after a short break, where Tigres thrashed Puebla 7-0. Correa contributed with a goal and an assist, while forwards Ozziel Herrera, Diego Lainez, Juan Francisco Brunetta, and Andre-Pierre Gignac also made significant impacts by getting on the scoresheet. This indicates that Tigres’ attacking players are in excellent form heading into the Inter Miami showdown.
Match Prediction
The upcoming game promises to be an exciting contest filled with goals from both sides. While UANL Tigres are in impressive attacking shape, the prediction leans slightly in favor of Inter Miami, especially if Lionel Messi plays. Expect a close, thrilling game where Inter Miami might just edge out to a win with a high-scoring match.
Prediction: Inter Miami to win and over 2.5 total goals scored.
