Inter Miami Clash with New England Revolution: Bold Predictions and Starting XI Revealed
Inter Miami has finally aligned with the rest of Major League Soccer during an intense period in the closing weeks of the 2025 regular season.
However, this Saturday, they aim to get back on track before the MLS Cup Playoffs, following a disappointing 1–1 tie against already-eliminated Toronto FC, and a devastating 5–3 defeat to the Chicago Fire in midweek that crushed their Supporters' Shield aspirations.
Currently, they're concentrating on securing a top-four position in the Eastern Conference, with ambitions to surpass FC Cincinnati for the second spot. Philadelphia Union is now beyond reach. This weekend focuses entirely on securing three points, maintaining their top-four position and keeping Lionel Messi competitive in the Golden Boot race as they welcome the New England Revolution to Chase Stadium.
Here is Sports Illustrated's comprehensive match preview.

Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami requires some positive developments.
Following a 1–1 stalemate with Toronto FC and a 5–3 defeat to Chicago, head coach Javier Mascherano's squad faces a challenging situation as the playoffs loom.
With the Supporters' Shield no longer attainable, this could provide Mascherano with justification to rotate some players, hoping to have a healthy and rejuvenated squad when the playoffs commence.
Alternatively, Mascherano might prioritize securing an encouraging result. The Argentine manager could deploy all five superstars: Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Rodrigo De Paul.
Beyond achieving a positive outcome, attention will focus on Messi's goal-scoring ability. He has failed to score in two consecutive matches and maintains just a one-goal advantage over LAFC's Denis Bouanga in the MLS Golden Boot competition.
The Herons have virtually their entire squad available, with only striker Allen Obando sidelined due to injury and winger Mateo Silvetti representing Argentina at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
Inter Miami Predicted Lineup vs. New England Revolution
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs. New England Revolution (4-2-3-1): Ustari; Fray, Falcón, Avilés, Alba; De Paul, Busquets; Allende, Messi, Segovia; Suárez
New England Revolution Team News
Although New England strengthened their squad by acquiring U.S. men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner on loan from Lyon, they have struggled to discover their rhythm with only three victories in their past 17 matches, including last week's 2–0 triumph over Atlanta United.
The Revolution also operate with assistant coach Pablo Moreira leading the team, after releasing Caleb Porter in September following a series of poor performances.
Under Moreira's guidance through two matches, the Revolution have experienced a modest new manager boost, with a 1–0 defeat to the Supporters' Shield-leading Philadelphia Union, followed by the victory against Atlanta.
With two fixtures remaining, the Revolution's current 11th-place position in the Eastern Conference represents their maximum possible standing.
New England Revolution Predicted Lineup vs. Inter Miami
New England Revolution Predicted Lineup vs. Inter Miami (5-3-2): Turner; Bye, Ceballos, Fofana, Beason, Sands; Oyirwoth, Gil, Polster; Langoni, Campana
Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution Score Prediction
