Inter Miami vs Pumas UNAM Preview and Team News
Inter Miami Team News
Javier Mascherano’s Inter Miami are well-positioned to secure a spot in the next round of the Leagues Cup after avoiding defeat in their opening two matches. However, a 2-2 draw in their latest outing against Necaxa could leave them vulnerable in the final round.
Jordi Alba netted a dramatic equalizer in the final seconds before Miami sealed a win in a penalty shootout. Rodrigo De Paul has made an excellent start to life with the MLS club, registering two assists so far. However, the team will be without the influential Lionel Messi on Wednesday after the superstar limped off with a hamstring injury over the weekend.
Yannick Bright is expected to step in for Messi in the attack, and his pace could cause issues for the Pumas UNAM backline. Meanwhile, Falcon is suspended after being sent off against Necaxa.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs Pumas UNAM (4-4-2): Novo; Weigandt, Allen, Lujan, Alba; Allende, De Paul, Busquets, Segovia; Bright, Suarez.
Pumas UNAM Team News
There will be added pressure on Efrain Juarez’s Pumas UNAM heading into matchday three, as only a victory is likely to secure their spot in the knockout round of the competition.
Like Inter Miami, the Mexican club have gone unbeaten in their two Leagues Cup games, but one of their wins was secured via penalties. Still, they showed great character against Atlanta United in their previous clash, pulling off a 3-2 win with Adalberto Carrasquilla scoring twice.
However, the squad will be without their first-choice goalkeeper on Wednesday after Keylor Navas was sent off in the closing stages of the victory on Saturday. Pablo Lara is expected to step in between the posts, while Aaron Ramsey could return to action this week after recovering from a minor injury.
Pumas UNAM predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (4-2-3-1): Lara; Bennevendo, Natan, Duarte, Angulo; Carrasquilla, Caicedo; Lopez, Vite, Ruvalcaba; Martinez.
Inter Miami vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
- Pick: The Draw
- Odds: +288 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Inter Miami 1-1 Pumas UNAM
The absence of Messi will be hard to dismiss this week. Inter Miami still have quality in attack, but all of their patterns typically involve the Argentine star. How they approach this fixture in his absence will be interesting to watch, but they could struggle against a talented rival. Pumas UNAM have already shown their attacking threat in the Leagues Cup, and confidence levels will be high after netting three goals against Atlanta over the weekend.
Given Miami’s poor defensive record, Pumas could find opportunities on Wednesday and force a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Inter Miami vs Pumas UNAM Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
Even without their star man, Inter Miami have still been productive in the final third this season. The MLS club have scored an average of 2.23 goals per game and failed to find the back of the net in just 18% of their fixtures.
However, they’ve struggled defensively throughout the campaign, conceding 1.55 goals from an xGA of 1.32. Pumas have already netted four goals in their two Leagues Cup matches and showcased strong offensive qualities throughout 2025, with ten goals scored across all competitions.
Therefore, backing both teams to score makes plenty of appeal.
