Jason McIntyre's prediction via FOX Sports Betting Analyst:

Orlando was fortunate to be in this position after a stunning stoppage-time winner allowed them to advance at home against Santos Laguna, a 3-2 comeback victory. They must travel to play Lionel Messi and the hottest MLS team despite winning their group. 

Inter Miami had not won in six games and was the poorest MLS team prior to the arrival of Messi. Soccer fans are already speculating as to whether Messi can lead this squad to what would be an incredible Leagues Cup victory.

 Miami's offense is well-rounded. They also have Josef Martinez (six goals this season) and Leonardo Campana in addition to Messi.

Without La Pulga, Miami would have been the underdog tonight. Miami is -125 to win in regulation, while Over 2.5 goals has a little more juice (-125). 

Santos sliced open the Orlando defense with ease, and I anticipate Miami will do the same. I prefer the Over 2.5 goals because Miami will be ready to keep the offense going after getting more rest. 

The Miami gambling train has departed, and as long as it keeps winning, the odds on Messi scoring will keep rising. For instance, Messi's odds of scoring at any time in this game are up to -175. That is a much higher price than the last game.
