Inter Miami and Vancouver Whitecaps will compete for the 2025 MLS Cup on Saturday in what promises to be an exciting finale. The Herons are on the brink of lifting their first-ever title in the competition, which would represent the most prestigious of all the silverware they have picked up in the last two years or so.
Lionel Messi and co. have demonstrated their credentials all season and stormed into the finals after crushing New York City FC 5-1 in the Conference finals to win the Eastern Conference. Tadeo Allende fired a hat-trick, while Mateo Silvetti and Telasco Segovia netted apiece too.
Miami are eyeing to go one better, but standing in their way are Vancouver, winners of the Western Conference title this season.
After overcoming FC Dallas in the first round of the MLS Playoffs, the Blue and Whites beat LAFC on penalties in the last-four and then San Diego 3-1 in the Conference finals to get here.

Inter Miami vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
The Herons have been on fire in the last few weeks and can be forgiven for entering the tie high on confidence. Vancouver are no slouch, having clinched the Western Conference title before reaching this stage and beating Miami in their last two encounters.
We expect a tense game here between two in-form sides packed to the rafters with quality. But Messi-led Inter Miami should be able to win.
