It won't be known until shortly before the match whether Messi will play in Inter Miami's next game at Audi Field against DC United. The Argentine star had a prime-time performance, returning from injury to beat the LA Galaxy 3-1, but was absent from his team's subsequent Leagues Cup victory.
In any case, Messi likely won't start. Still, the Herons made do with the world champion's absence, beating the mighty Tigres 2-1 with two penalty goals from Suárez.
That's why the odds on betting sites for Inter vs. DC United seem to have little influence on Messi's starting or absence, as Miami is listed as the favorite with more than 50% implied probability to win on Saturday in the US capital.
DC United is mired in last place in the Eastern Conference; they salvaged a 1-1 draw against Montreal, snapping a five-match losing streak in MLS. However, the team hasn't won since May 31.

Our DC United vs Inter Miami Prediction
For the Herons, Mascherano remains the manager, who has them fifth in the Eastern Conference with three fewer matches than their MLS rivals and two games away from defending their Leagues Cup title.
DC United, meanwhile, has parted ways with Troy Lesesne since their elimination from the US Open Cup, and Flanagan took over on an interim basis.
While Jordi Alba is also doubtful for this match, Feltcher, Leal, and Peglow are confirmed absentees for DC United's match on Saturday.
Our prediction for Inter Miami vs DC United is: Inter Miami to win.
