Orlando City vs Inter Miami prediction, picks

Orlando City come into this one on the back of beginning the 2026 Major League Soccer season with a 2-1 defeat at home to the New York Red Bulls with NYRB having dominated throughout and that scoreline perhaps flattering Orlando.

Inter Miami were left frustrated to the point of Lionel Messi being restrained by Luis Suarez in his post-match protestations to the referee after they succumbed to a 3-0 loss to LAFC at the LA Memorial Coliseum.

Inter Miami have started slowly but their performance wasn’t woeful and they now return back to Florida against what appears to be a very average Orlando side and so the visitors should bounce back with a victory here.
