Inter Miami team news and form: New coach states ambitions
Coach Tata Martino did well in charge of the Herons. He won two historic titles. However, he failed to complete the main objective – win Major League Soccer. Now, we have Javier Mascherano calling the shots, and we are sure his main goal would be to win MLS.

New York City team news and form: Visitors lack consistency
New York City achieved nothing in the match against Western Conference’s St. Louis City on the 13th of February. Coach Pascal Jansen’s boys lost 1-3 to one of the new teams in Major League Soccer in a match that could’ve ended even more humiliating for Fernandez and his colleagues.

Player to watch: Lionel Messi
With 21 goals and 11 assists in 22 league games, Lionel Messi won the 2024 MLS Landon Donovan MLS MVP Award. With his unyielding character and alien-like skills, La Pulga helped the team win a historic trophy in the regular part of the season, thus earning the right to be featured as the player to watch in our professional Inter Miami vs New York City prediction.
Second player to watch: Agustin Ojeda
20-year-old Agustin Ojeda will surely be a starter for the visitors this week. Seeing as Malachi Jones broke his leg, it’s up to Ojeda to cause mayhem on the wing.
