Inter Miami vs Colorado Rapids Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips 04/06/24
Let’s face it, Inter Miami isn’t the same without Lionel Messi. The worst part is that the Argentinian remains questionable due to a hamstring injury. Even so, the Herons come in as the soccer betting favorites to defeat the Colorado Rapids at -125 on Saturday. However, keep in mind that the Rapids, who are +310, recently defeated Los Angeles FC, a team that played in the last two editions of the MLS Cup.

Yes, Messi is questionable, but Inter Miami still has one of the league’s top scorers in Luis Suarez, who has scored five goals. There’s also the fact that the Herons managed to score in three of the four games that they’ve played without the GOAT. You should also keep in mind that regardless of the result, the Colorado Rapids scored in five of their previous six matches.
Inter Miami vs Colorado Rapids Moneyline Pick: Inter Miami (-125)
Midweek, Inter Miami failed to fulfill its role as betting online favorites against Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League. The Mexican side won 2-1. The same happened for Inter Miami last weekend against New York City FC. That match finished 1-1.
“With Messi, without Messi…regardless they’re a really good team”

Why do I believe they’re going to win on Saturday? Because I can imagine Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets talking in the locker room and saying that not winning for a third straight game is unacceptable. Plus, as Colorado Rapids head coach Chris Armas said, with or without Messi, Inter Miami is a great team with talent to spare, especially when playing at home.
Inter Miami vs Colorado Rapids Soccer Props Pick: Inter Miami -½ (-108)
Again, with or without Lionel Messi, and regardless of the odds in soccer, I expect Inter Miami to win. Now, I don’t expect a blowout or anything like it. I expect the Colorado Rapids to put up a very good fight, enough for the first half to finish with a draw and to force the Herons to score late in the second. Why? Because even if Messi gets to play, I don’t expect him to play the whole game. Head coach Gerardo Martino wants the Argentinian to be at his best form for the second leg against Monterrey. A one-goal difference seems fair for this contest.
