Los Angeles FC vs Inter Miami Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 22/02/2026

Los Angeles FC come into this season opener with serious firepower, highlighted by the permanent signing of Heung-min Son, who could prove a nightmare for opposition defenses. Given Inter Miami’s attacking potential with Leo Messi up front, we predict a 2-2 draw. Preseason stats show LAFC averaging 3.30 goals per game, conceding 0.90, and keeping 50% clean sheets at home. Their form at the Banc of California Stadium is flawless: 4 straight home wins in preseason.Inter Miami, the reigning champions, remain heavily reliant on Leo Messi, while the return of centre-back Micael to Palmeiras may slightly weaken their back line. Miami’s preseason numbers are also impressive: 4.20 goals per game, 1.30 conceded, with 75% BTTS at home. Away form is solid, averaging 1.67 points per game, but they’re vulnerable on the road against top-tier opponents.
