Both Inter Miami and Porto will be hoping to improve on their respective 0-0 draws in their opening games of Group A in the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC). A win for either side in this clash will give them a great chance of making the knockout stage, as they prepare to do battle at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Thursday night.

Inter Miami vs Porto prediction: Messi and co to cause upset?
Key stats
- Inter Miami are unbeaten in four games in all competitions, scoring 12 goals.
- Porto are winless in two matches without scoring.
- Porto's last five games have averaged just 1.8 goals per match.
Correct score prediction: Inter Miami 1-1 Porto
Porto are favourites to claim all three points, but recent struggles could let Inter Miami in like Palmeiras did as underdogs. The likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez could cause the Portuguese side plenty of problems, and so another upset could well be on the cards.

Inter Miami preview: Alba still out?

Player to watch: Rodrigo Mora
Rodrigo Mora has been linked with a move away from Porto in the summer transfer window. Of course, any deal for him would have to be sanctioned after the CWC finishes.
Mora is a tricky attacker with plenty of flair, and he made a big impression towards the end of the domestic league season. Indeed, he scored and assisted in Porto's last three league matches, and a player of his ability could make the difference in what could be a tight affair against Inter Miami.
