On February 22, as part of the first week of the regular MLS championship, Inter Miami will face Real Salt Lake at the DRV PNK Stadium. Will Messi and Suarez be able to kick off with a home victory? Here's the forecast for this match from Dailysports experts.
Inter Miami
In the previous edition of the MLS regular championship, the Florida-based club, despite qualitative reinforcement during the season and the arrival of Lionel Messi himself, finished in the penultimate spot of the Eastern Conference standings, missing out on the playoffs. During the offseason, the club bolstered its squad with another stellar forward - Luis Suarez. It's no surprise that Inter is considered the favorite by bookmakers in the title race. In preparation for the championship kick-off, Inter played a series of friendly matches, in which they looked lackluster. For instance, they suffered a significant defeat against Al-Nasr with a score of 0-6 and Hong Kong All-Stars with a score of 1-4.
Real Salt Lake
In contrast to Inter, Real Salt Lake, under the guidance of the legendary Pablo Mastroeni, confidently reached the playoffs in the previous season. The "Royals" finished fifth in the Western Conference standings. However, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Houston Dynamo over the course of three matches in the series. During the offseason, the club bid farewell to long-time attacking leader Savarino, but also made some acquisitions. For example, attacking midfielder Crooks arrived from Middlesbrough. Real Salt Lake played three matches in the Atlantic Cup, securing two victories and suffering one defeat. In their last friendly match last week, Pablo Mastroeni's team drew with FC Toronto 1-1.
