MLS Cup Final: Inter Miami vs. Vancouver Whitecaps Overview

MLS Cup Final Props Picks

Lionel Messi to Make 1+ Assists

It has been a mesmerizing year on the field for Lionel Messi, as the Argentine superstar attempts to win his first MLS Cup. The 38-year-old has registered a staggering 56 goal involvements in 2025, averaging 1.76 per game.

However, the better value in the betting this weekend could come in the form of the star registering an assist, just as he did in the Conference Finals last weekend.

Messi has clocked up 21 assists this season from an xA of 19.25, and he averages a staggering 3.14 key passes per 90.

Andres Cubas to Make 2+ Fouls

It will be a fascinating battle in the middle of the park this weekend, with the Whitecaps likely to play Cubas and Berhalter in holding midfield roles to cut the space that Messi can operate in.

Given that both stars will likely come face-to-face with Messi on Saturday, a high number of fouls is likely. Andres Cubas has been a serial offender in the engine room, accumulating eleven yellow cards and committing a staggering 2.71 fouls per 90.

These stats point to an obvious area of value in the betting on Saturday.

Tadeo Allende to Score Anytime

Lionel Messi has been overshadowed somewhat in the playoffs, as Tadeo Allende has been the go-to scorer for Inter Miami.

The forward netted a stunning hat-trick in the 5-1 win over New York City in the Conference Finals last weekend, taking his tally in the last two games to five goals.

He is once again likely to get the nod ahead of Luis Suarez this weekend after scoring an impressive 19 goals in 36 league games this season.
