Prepare for MLS matchday 12 as games hit the turf full throttle this Saturday, starting with Toronto vs. Inter Miami at 1 p.m. ET.

Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami MLS Odds and Betting Trends

Toronto have not beaten Miami in six straight since 2023, with only two wins to their name in this head-to-head. However, they have drawn each other 1-1 in the last two meetings.

The Canadian home side is a considerable +205 underdog here on the MLS odds, as the reigning champions are -105 favourites with only two losses to their name this season. A draw is always in Toronto’s playbook, and it’s priced at +300 for Saturday’s tilt, while under 3.5 is expected at -155.

Inter Miami

The Herons’ nine-game unbeaten streak (11 games overall) finally came to an end in their most recent 4-3 loss to Orlando SC in the Florida derby. While a 90+3′ game winner sealed the victory for Orlando, Inter Miami dominated with 19 shots and 61 per cent possession, as the real issue stemmed from their lack of shots on target (eight) in order to put pressure on their state rivals. The team still has a solid grasp on third place, though, drawing the second-place Revs on April 25 while boasting the highest goals-for count in the East alongside FC Cincinnati (22).

There’s never a more probable goalscorer than the legendary World Cup winner Lionel Messi (eight), as he takes -125 odds to score Saturday afternoon. Teammate German Berterame trails Messi at +205 after scoring three so far, followed only by Luis Suarez at +215.

Toronto FC

Toronto turned around their flat start to the season with one win and three straight draws in April, but haven’t won a game since their 3-2 victory over Colorado on April 4. Their loss to 12th-place Atlanta marked an unfortunate moment in the season for the squad, but they followed it up with a well-fought 1-1 draw against West leaders San Jose. Most recently, Toronto lost 3-1 in the Canadian Championship preliminary round to Ottawa on Tuesday, which marks their exit from tournament play.

Toronto’s American striker Josh Sargent leads the charge for his team at +195 to score anytime, with two goals in seven games this season. Daniel Salloi, the team’s top running goalscorer with four goals, follows his teammate at +220 to score.

MLS Prediction: Who Will Win Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami?

Toronto’s defeat to a lower-end team at the end of April marked their first home loss of the season, and the team now holds a 1-2 record in all competitions in its last three games. They’ve played eight home matches in a row and have only come out victorious in two of them, but that was over a month ago.

The Canadian side is prone to finishing games in draws, but as Miami return from an infuriating loss to their Florida rivals, they’ll be drooling to take advantage of Toronto’s stagnation. Toronto have allowed nine goals in their four matches.

Look for Miami to take this one by a score of 2-1.
