Inter Miami CF are set to welcome the New England Revolution in a crucial tie of the 2025 Major League Soccer season. The clash takes place at Chase Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, on Sunday, October 5, 2025. This game carries weight for both sides. Miami are still dreaming of the Supporters’ Shield, while New England is fighting to climb out of 11th spot in the Eastern Conference.
Luis Suarez, who was suspended for spitting, as reported by Softfootball had a brace in their previous match but wasn’t enough as Miami head into this one licking their wounds after a crazy 3–5 loss to Chicago Fire, which snapped their three-game winning run.
The Revolution, on the other hand, enjoyed a morale boost, beating Atlanta United 2–0 in their last outing. Historically, this fixture leans towards Miami as they have won four of the last five meetings, with the most recent in July 2025 ending 2–1 for the Herons.
Team News
For Inter Miami, Lionel Messi is again the headline name. He’s been untouchable, topping the charts with 24 goals and 15 assists in 25 league games while Jordi Alba continues to supply dangerous crosses and already has 12 assists.
Sergio Busquets is quietly knitting things together in midfield, as he would be rendered a special tribute after the final whistle this Saturday as stated on Inter Miami’s official X account.
However, Miami will be without Allen Obando and David Ruiz due to injuries. But there’s Rodrigo de Paul. The Argentine midfielder recently grabbed his first MLS assist in a match against Seattle Sounders, as reported by Softfootball.
New England’s hopes rest on Carles Gil, who’s enjoying a solid season with 10 goals and 12 assists. Keeper Matt Turner remains an ever-present between the posts, while Tanner Beason’s recent performances have earned him plaudits. But the Revs will miss Ignatius Ganago and Ilay Feingold.
Possible Lineups
Inter Miami (probable): Ustari; Fray, Picart, Allen, Alba; Allende, De Paul, Busquets; Rodriguez; Messi; Suarez
New England Revolution (probable): Turner; Fofana, Beason, Farrell; Bye, Polster, Gil, Oyirwoth, Sands; Chancalay, Turgeman
Softfootball’s Prediction
Miami’s firepower, especially with Messi leading the charge, makes them heavy favourites. New England could threaten on the break, but consistency on the road has been patchy. Expect goals here, but the Herons should have just enough quality to edge it.
Prediction: Inter Miami 2–1 New England Revolution.
