San Jose Earthquakes vs Inter Miami Preview and Team News
San Jose Earthquakes Team News
San Jose Earthquakes host star-studded Inter Miami in the 13th round of the Major League Soccer on Wednesday. The home team, who are known for their flamboyant display of aggression down the flanks, will have to be careful not to let too many gaps form in their defence in this encounter.
Currently, San Jose are ranked seventh in the Western table, and will be keen on moving upwards. In this game, Josef Martinez will be unavailable for San Jose’s selection due to a muscle injury. It would be quite upsetting for Martinez since he is an ex-Inter Miami player and would have loved to take on and score against his former club in this game. However, the home team’s supporters will be in good cheer since they have won their last three games in a row.

San Jose usually play with a 3-4-3 formation in which they like to move the ball as quickly as possible. This tactic will be especially handy in this game since Miami are known to press hard, and keeping possession for even a second more can turn the game on its head.
San Jose’s defenders put a lot of emphasis on zonal marking, but they will have to brush up on their man-marking skills in this game as well in order to keep the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez out of the game for as long as possible.
San Jose Earthquakes predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (3-4-3): Daniel; Floriani, Romney, Munie; Jones, Harkes, Leroux, Costa; Espinoza, Bouda, Arango.
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami, who have been one of the highest-flying sides in the MLS, must overcome every challenge sent their way by San Jose in this game in order to secure the title. Currently, Miami are ranked fourth in the eastern table, and will not face too much of opposition from San Jose, who are known for wilting under pressure.
For Miami, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will be the key players in the final third, whereas former Barcelona man Sergio Busquets will be expected to man the central midfield region. Another ex-Barcelona player, Jordi Alba, will be in charge of the fullback department, and responsible for running up and down the flanks to provide support to his attack-minded colleagues with his pinpoint passes and lofty crosses.

In this game, Miami will have to make do without the likes of Baltasar Rodríguez, David Ruiz and Drake Callendar, who have been sidelined with hamstring and groin issues, respectively. Their recent 1-4 defeat to Minnesota United, which in turn puts them with just one victory in their last five games, will be a big dampener to their confidence.
Messi was recently credited with turning Miami into the ‘Real Madrid’ of the MLS by Josef Martínez, who plays for San Jose but has unfortunately been ruled out with an injury in this game. Miami’s attacking credentials need no second introduction, and they will be the ones dictating most of the possession as well as attacking statistics in this match.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs San Jose Earthquakes (4-4-2): Ustari; Weigandt, Allen, Lujan, Alba; Allende, Busquets, Bright, Picault; Suarez, Messi.
San Jose Earthquakes vs Inter Miami Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami to win or draw
- Odds: -244 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: San Jose Earthquakes 1-2 Inter Miami
Despite travelling away for this game, Miami are the favourites to win this game or even draw it. Interestingly, there has been just one game recorded between these teams in the past, in the 2022 season – when Messi was not a part of the squad – and it was won by Miami.
Messi will be playing in his first game against San Jose and will be expected to have a big say on proceedings. Miami are the stronger side, both on paper and form, and we expect them to return unbeaten from this fixture. The sole victory they have had over San Jose in the past also came in away from home.
San Jose Earthquakes vs Inter Miami Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -222 (20Bet)
Although these teams have not met each other very often in the past, we expect them to get onto the scoresheet here. This is testament to the quality of attack-minded players that are present in both sides and who can have a say in the very nature of the match.
This will also push the defensive units of both teams to be on their toes at all times and be aware of the challenges lurking on the edge of their respective boxes. Miami, in particular, like to involve the offside trap a lot when catching opposition attackers unawares, and this will be an interesting tactic to watch.
