Inter Miami CF v FC Porto: Forecast, Odds and Bets

June 17, 2025

The Group A fixture Inter Miami CF v FC Porto in the FIFA Club World Cup takes place on Thursday, 19 June 2025 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Kick-off is set for 20:00 local time, which translates to 20:00 BST (UK) and 21:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain.

This second matchday clash sees both teams on one point after 0-0 draws in their openers. A victory here would give the winner a significant advantage in the race for a semifinal spot, making this encounter a must-watch for football fans and bettors alike.

How are both teams coming into this?

Inter Miami CF impressed defensively in their opening draw against Al Ahly SC, showing resilience under pressure. The MLS side, coached by Javier Mascherano, sit second in the group but need more attacking spark if they want to challenge for top spot.

FC Porto, meanwhile, have also kept a clean sheet in their 0-0 draw with Palmeiras. The Portuguese giants arrive with recent European experience and have won three of their last five matches in all competitions. Their blend of defensive solidity and attacking quality makes them slight favourites.

Our forecast

We expect FC Porto to edge this one, leveraging their superior tournament pedigree and recent form. A narrow 2-1 victory for the Dragons looks plausible, with Porto controlling possession and breaking through late on.

However, Inter Miami’s home support and tactical discipline mean they could nick a goal on the counter. We also see value in backing Both Teams to Score as both sides have shown defensive strength but lack clinical finishing so far.
