Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami Preview and Team News
Sporting Kansas City Team News
Sporting Kansas City are making their first CONCACAF Champions Cup appearance since 2019. Their qualification came as a result of finishing as runners-up in the US Open Cup in 2024.
As they head into the new season, Sporting Kansas City have taken the time to make some changes to the squad. New additions include Dejan Joveljic and Mason Toye, and they will hope that the pair settles in fast enough to make the difference when they come up against Inter Miami, who have been unbeaten in preseason.
However, their form in the lead-up to the clash against Inter Miami has been challenging; their preseason was entirely winless, with the last three matches ending with SKC failing to find the back of the net.
SKC will have to contend with injury news sidelining four players from the clash against Inter Miami. Center-back Dany Rosero (ankle), center-forward Khiry Shelton (unknown), right-back Jake Davis (muscle), and center-forward Mason Toye (back) are all doubts for the match.
Sporting Kansas City Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Pulskamp; Jurcec, Miller, Voloder, Leibold; Bartlett, Radoja, Rodriguez; Afrifa, Joveljic, Salloi
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami are riding on a high after a promising pre-season campaign that saw them go through it unbeaten, with two wins out of three outings.
The clash against Sporting Kansas City will be the second consecutive time that Inter Miami will be appearing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, having made it all the way to the quarter-finals last year.
Ahead of the match, the key players expected to feature in the match for Inter Miami include Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Gonzalo Luján, and Telasco Segovia.
Javier Mascherano will have to contend without the injured center-back Ian Fray; the 22-year-old center-back is recovering from a meniscus injury.
Inter Miami Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Ustari; Weigandt, Luján, Martinez, Alba; Bright, Busquets, Segovia; Messi, Suarez, Allende.
Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami To Win
- Odds: +134 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Sporting Kansas City 1-3 Inter Miami
Inter Miami are coming off a strong and unbeaten pre-season; Sporting Kansas City, on the other hand, have had a challenging and winless pre-season.
Miami’s main cast of influential players, such as Jordi Alba, Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Luján, and Telasco Segovia, are expected to be pivotal in this match. Although Sporting Kansas City have added new players, such as Joveljic and Toye, they are still adapting to the team, and the lack of experience might cost them.
Team performance analysis on 20Bet shows that Inter Miami are in good form and have the experience to navigate the competition compared to SKC. The upshot is that the away side is backed to come out with a win.
Sporting Kansas City vs Inter Miami Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Race To Three Goals – Inter Miami
Inter Miami have the firepower to create optimal chances and take them in this match. Their tactical approach and strong defensive setup, with players like Gonzalo Luján and Jordi Alba, give them the platform to attack in transitions, control the tempo of the match, and minimize the chances they concede.
Coupled with the struggles of Sporting Kansas City’s defensive lineup in preseason, they might find it difficult to contain Inter Miami’s attack; therefore, our best bets show a likely race to three goals by Inter Miami.
