2024 MLS picks, schedule, odds, best bets: Soccer expert reveals score predictions for Saturday, May 25

If you’re a soccer fan, Saturday’s MLS schedule is exactly what you’re looking for. Fourteen matches are set to be played, beginning with seven games at 7:30 p.m. ET. The action wraps up with four games at 10:30 p.m., including Lionel Messi and Inter Miami traveling north of the border to take on the Vancouver Whitecaps. Messi’s stellar play has Inter Miami sitting on top of the Eastern Conference standings with 31 points. The Herons are the slight +145 favorites (risk $100 to win $145) in the latest MLS odds, while the Whitecaps are +155 underdogs.

Will Messi lead Inter Miami to another win on the road, or should your MLS best bets involve a matchup like Atlanta United vs. LAFC, New England Revolution vs. NYCFC, or D.C. United vs. Chicago Fire?

Top MLS predictions for Saturday, May 25

One of Sutton’s MLS score predictions is that Messi leads Inter Miami (+145) to a comfortable 3-1 victory on the road against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Inter Miami are extremely efficient in the attacking third, having scored 36 goals through 15 games this season. The Herons have scored nine more goals than the next-closest team (Real Salt Lake) and they’ve been firing on all cylinders on the road.

Inter Miami have scored three or more goals in four of their last six games away from home thanks to the brilliance of Messi and Luis Suarez. Messi has racked up 10 goals and 12 assists this season, while Suarez has found the back of the net 11 times in 2024.

The Whitecaps, meanwhile, have struggled to get results at home, winning just two of their six league games at BC Place. Vancouver is also winless in its last five matches in MLS play, scoring just two goals during that stretch. See the rest of Sutton’s MLS score predictions here.
