    Inter Miami vs Toronto FC predicted formations

    Inter Miami host Toronto FC at Nu Stadium on Saturday, August 22 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).

    Inter Miami have no fresh fitness concerns to report, so Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Germán Berterame all look set to start together up top at Nu Stadium. Toronto FC are similarly clear of team news, meaning Dániel Sallói and Joshua Sargent should lead their attack once again.

      Inter Miami vs Toronto FC Prediction

      Our Signal model has Inter Miami closing this out 2-1, a result that keeps them locked into the top of the East on 39 points while Toronto stay 11th and still hunting a playoff spot on 21 points. Messi and Suárez should have enough in behind Toronto’s leaky back line, and with Sallói good for a goal of his own, both ends look nailed on to fill the net before Miami’s superior quality decides it late on.
