Leagues Cup: Inter Miami vs. Pumas UNAM Picks — Messi’s Side to Suffer Early Elimination? (Aug 6)

A huge match with implications for the teams that will progress through to the next round of the Leagues Cup is set for Chase Stadium on Wednesday, as Inter Miami come up against Pumas UNAM.

Lionel Messi’s Inter are in a dangerous position coming into this final clash after accumulating five points from their two matches. Although, it is worth noting that they remain unbeaten. But, a defeat in Miami will see the former champions crash out in the opening round.

Pumas UNAM are also unbeaten across their opening two matches, winning once in regulation time and a further victory being achieved in a shootout. Only a victory will enhance their chances of making it through to the knockout round on Wednesday.

Inter Miami vs. Pumas UNAM Picks

Pumas UNAM showcased their battling qualities in a recent win against Atlanta United, but this is a step up in opposition.

Inter Miami will be without their key man this week, and Messi’s absence will leave them light in the final third of the field. Therefore, there could be an increased chance that a draw could be the final outcome in 90 minutes at Chase Stadium.
