Can Carles Gil stop Messi and Suárez’s star partnership in Foxborough? MLS match prediction: New England Revolution vs Inter Miami
New England Revolution
Inter Miami CF
In the early hours of Monday, November 2, 2026, at 01:00 Central European Time, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, will host the marquee clash of Matchday 33 in the MLS regular season: New England Revolution take on Inter Miami.
The match is billed as a pivotal battle for playoff seeding ahead of the start of the MLS Cup postseason. Just two points separate the rivals: New England sit third in the Eastern Conference with 58 points (18 wins, 4 draws, 10 losses), while the Floridians follow in fourth place with 56 points (15 wins, 11 draws, 6 losses).

It is worth noting that the historical head-to-head record favors the Miami club: Inter have seven wins, the Revolution have three, and one match has ended in a draw. The teams’ previous meeting, played at Inter’s home ground in spring 2026, ended in an entertaining 1-1 draw, with Carles Gil and Germán Berterame on the scoresheet.
New England Revolution
The “Revolutionaries” have hit their stride at the tail end of the regular season, earning four wins in their last five matches, including a high-scoring 3-2 shootout against the New York Red Bulls.
The team has been outstanding at home, winning 69% of its matches on familiar turf. The creative hub of the side is captain Carles Gil, who has scored 13 goals this season and orchestrates attacks alongside Israeli forward Dor Turgeman, who has eight assists, and Peyton Miller. At the same time, the Revolution’s defense leaves plenty of space, having conceded 44 goals this season and consistently allowing openings for pacey attackers.
Inter Miami
The Florida club boasts the most destructive attacking line in the league, scoring a staggering 75 goals in 32 rounds, an average of 2.34 goals per 90 minutes. Lionel Messi, with 24 goals and 13 assists, sets the tempo in the final third with support from Luis Suárez, Rodrigo De Paul, and Germán Berterame.
In the previous round, the “Herons” played out a high-scoring 2-2 draw with Cincinnati. The team’s main weakness is its positional lapses at the back, having conceded 55 goals in the tournament, which regularly drags Inter Miami into open end-to-end exchanges.
Probable lineups
- New England Revolution: Turner - Feingold, Kohler, Wynder, Sands - Raines, Gil, Yueill - Langoni, Gazdag, Turgeman
- Inter Miami: St. Clair - Luján, Casemiro, Micael, Reguilón - Ayala, De Paul, Galarza - Messi, Berterame, Suárez
Prediction
The Floridians’ superior quality and the need to leapfrog a direct rival in the standings make the visitors the preferred choice. My prediction: Inter Miami to avoid defeat.
