FIFA Club World Cup – Round 1
Inter Miami vs FC Porto
Inter Miami: The MLS team just had a 0-0 tie with Al Ahly in their first game on June 15, 2025. It wasn’t boring at all because both teams had a lot of chances. The reason there were no goals was because of the amazing performance by goalkeeper Óscar Ustari, who made 8 saves, including one penalty save in the first half. Al Ahly’s goalkeeper was also impressive, stopping Lionel Messi and his teammates several times. They tried to score 14 times that night, with six shots on target, but none of them went in.
FC Porto: The Portuguese team had a 0-0 tie with Palmeiras in their first game, managing to keep a clean sheet even though they let in an expected goals total of 2.1 against Palmeiras. This is the highest xG allowed in a FIFA Club World Cup match without conceding a goal on record. The offense is spearheaded by Fabio Vieira, who can play after his loan at Arsenal, providing control in the midfield, and Pepe, who has scored 8 goals in the Primeira Liga 2024-25.
Based on the analysis, FC Porto’s strong defense, which was evident in their game against Palmeiras, along with their experience in European tournaments, indicates that they might just beat Inter Miami. Although Inter Miami has big-name players like Messi and Suárez who could help them score, especially since Porto sometimes makes mistakes, the possible absence of Alba and Miami’s not-so-great history at the venue could hold them back.
Our prediction:
2 (FC Porto to Win)
