Inter Miami – Vancouver. Forecast and announcement for the MLS Cup 2025 final

On December 6, the final of the MLS playoffs will take place, where Inter Miami – Vancouver Whitecaps will compete for the title. The meeting will start at 21:30 Kyiv time.

Inter Miami

“Heron” gained its popularity even before its foundation, because David Beckham himself became the owner of the club. The legendary English football player gradually began to attract players from Europe, so now ex-Barcelona players: Messi, Suarez, Alba, Busquets are performing here.

This season, the team can become champions for the first time, the chances are high. Inter Miami looked good in the regular season, where they finished third in their conference, just one point behind the first place. Nashville went first to the playoffs – 3:1 at home, 1:2 away and 4:0 in the decisive third match. Next, they defeated Cincinnati away – 4:0, and then at home New York City – 5:1.

Vancouver Whitecaps

At a high level, the regular championship was held by the Caps, who became second in the West, second only to San Diego in additional indicators. First, Dallas made it to the playoffs – 3:0 at home, and then beat the opponent in a penalty shootout on the road.

The real thriller was in the match against FC Los Angeles, where Vancouver led 2:0 at home, but Son equalized with his double, besides, the hosts remained in the minority in stoppage time. By some miracle, the guests did not realize their numerical advantage in overtime, so it came to a penalty shootout, where the “caps” football players were more accurate. In the semifinals, they managed to beat San Diego away with a score of 3:1, everything was decided in the first half.

Personal meetings

Last season, these clubs met in the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Cup, then Vancouver managed to win both matches – 2:0 at home and 3:1 away, however, in the final there was a crushing defeat against Cruz Azul – 0:5.

Forecast

When the title is at stake, no additional motivation is needed, the world community is interested in this match because of the figure of Leo Messi. Many are wondering whether the Argentinian and his partners will be able to take the most prestigious football trophy in the USA.

Inter Miami are favorites as they will be playing at home with the support of their home crowd. The Whitecaps will try to surprise again, as it was last season. I will bet here on a clear victory for Messi and company at 1.73.
