2025 MLS Cup Final: Three-leg same-game parlay paying +450
It’s a star-studded 2025 MLS Cup on Saturday as Inter Miami and the Vancouver Whitecaps have each reached the final for the first time in their respective franchise history.
I’m breaking down the matchup with a same-game parlay that anticipates an offensive battle between two of the highest scoring teams in Major League Soccer this season.
Here’s what I have for a three-leg parlay price at +450:
- Regular time match result: Vancouver Whitecaps (+290)
- Total goals: Over 2.5 (-250)
- Both teams to score in regular time: Yes (-225)
Vancouver Whitecaps win in regular time
Vancouver is a sizeable underdog in this match and I love it. The stars shine a bit brighter on the Miami roster, but the Whitecaps are much deeper and boast a more balanced attack led by Thomas Muller, Brian White and Ryan Gauld.
Vancouver set club records for regular season points (63), wins (18), goal differential (+28) and goals (66) in 2025 as they get set to play their third final of the season following the CONCACAF Champions Cup and the Canadian Championship.
This Whitecaps squad has also had Miami’s number in two previous meetings this year with a 5-1 aggregate win in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. White and Sebastian Berhalter scored in each of those victories.
Total goals Over 2.5
Taking the Over on the total is a no-brainer to me as these were two of the three highest scoring teams during the regular season. Miami led the league with an average of 2.38 goals per match, while Vancouver was third at 1.94 goals.
And the scoring hasn’t stopped in the playoffs. Vancouver has exceed this total in three of four playoff matches, while the Herons have outscored opponents 17-3 in the playoffs, including four-goal margins of victory in each of their last three matches.
Both teams to score in regular time
Again, these are easily the two best offences in Major League Soccer and I expect legends of the game, and former World Cup champions, Muller and Lionel Messi to show up when it matters most.
Muller has nine goals and four assists in 12 matches across all competitions since joining Vancouver in August and Messi has already set a single-season postseason record with 13 goal contributions (6G, 7A) after winning the 2025 MLS Golden Boot with 29 goals and 19 assists.
This is shaping up to be an instant classic.
