The Orlando City-Inter Miami matchup has become something of a modern MLS classic. The reigning champion, Inter Miami, lost their opening game in 2016; the Herons were thrashed by LAFC in California, then won a friendly against Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle, and will be at Inter&Co Stadium on Sunday to face the Lions. Orlando also lost their opening game, falling 1-2 at home to the NY Red Bulls.
It will undoubtedly be an intriguing match. Pre-game odds consider it a close contest, and several stars will be on the pitch. One of them is Messi; the Argentine star and World Cup champion led Inter Miami to glory, crowning them champions for the first time in the MLS playoffs. Also on the field is Argentine striker Tadeo Allende, who set a new playoff record with nine goals in 2015, the same season in which Inter Miami scored a combined 101 goals across the regular season and playoffs, a record for a single team.

Our Orlando City SC vs Inter Miami Prediction
Mascherano will likely position Messi in midfield on Sunday, further up the pitch where he is most influential. The center forward could then be Berterame, whom Inter Miami acquired for $15 million. As always, Rodrigo De Paul will partner Messi in midfield behind him.
In Week 1 of the MLS, the New York Red Bulls managed 13 shots on goal against Orlando City, a somewhat concerning performance, while Inter suffered a loss to the overwhelming favorites, the powerful LAFC. The Herons have a good chance to pick up points against the Lions.
Our prediction for Orlando City vs Inter Miami is: Inter to win.
