Inter Miami CF - Real Salt Lake: Form Analysis
Inter Miami didn’t have the best of times in their preseason preparation, losing four of six total matches and winning just once. Their last time taking to the field resulted in a 1-1 draw against Messi’s boyhood club Newell’s. The Inter defense really struggled as they conceded 10 goals in a span of just two games following a 6-0 loss to Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr and a 4-3 loss to an Al-Hilal team fielding the likes of Malcom, Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and Milinkovic-Savic. There shouldn’t be too much weight placed into these results as the Saudi league is in the middle of their season and are therefore in full fitness. Likewise, the Messi + Suarez pairing featured just three times in those six matches.
Real Salt Lake, on the other hand, had a more encouraging preseason campaign. The Claret and Cobalt won matches against Fredrikstad and Klaksvik by a combined 4-0 before drawing 1-1 with Toronto FC in their most recent outing. RSL were one of Major League Soccer’s top-performing away sides in the 2023 season while struggling to get consistent victories on their home patch. This was very much antithetical to their usual type of performances as they historically have had one of the league’s strongest home field advantages. Real Salt Lake also struggled to keep goals out as their 50 goals allowed last year was most out of the top five seeded teams in both the East and the West.

Inter Miami CF & Real Salt Lake Squad Analysis
The hosts are battling a few injury problems to start the year, missing the likes of Franco Negri, Benjamin Cremaschi, Ian Fray, Corentin Jean and Serhiy Krystov, all who could miss the first few weeks to potentially 1-2 months of the season. They’ll also be without young attacker Facundo Farias for likely the entire campaign after the Argentine tore his ACL just last month. Inter Miami will also be without defensive midfielder Gregore, who had been a key part of the team since his arrival in 2021, after just recently sealing a move to Botafogo.
Real Salt Lake will be looking forward to a full season of production from striker Chicho Arango, who joined the squad mid season last year. The Colombian’s performances will be key to RSL’s success, as will promising young American Diego Luna’s play on the wing and his overall development as a footballer. New signing Matt Crooks from Middlesbrough could also prove to be a shrewd piece of business. The visitors could be without Pablo Ruiz and Erik Holt for the season opener.

Our Inter Miami CF vs Real Salt Lake Prediction
Considering the run that Inter Miami had last season when Lionel Messi joined up with the squad, it’s no surprise that they are the favorites for the 2024 title. They’ll have to stay healthy, of course, but this Inter Miami team has the firepower to potentially break scoring records. Goals certainly look to be on the docket as these two sides look to kick the season off with a bang. Messi and Suarez represent the best attacking duo the MLS has ever seen and Inter matches are going to be must-see TV this season. We like this one to be a high-scoring affair in a match that should finish at least 2-1 for the hosts. Our Inter Miami vs Real Salt Lake prediction is for both teams to score + over 2.5 goals.
