Both teams have only met once, with Inter Miami claiming a 1-0 win.
The Seattle Sounders are experiencing a mixed run of form this season, recording 12 wins, eight draws, and seven losses in MLS play. Currently, they hold a strong position in the Western Conference and appear well-positioned to qualify for the MLS Playoffs. On home turf, they have been dominant, earning eight wins, four draws, and just one defeat. As the winners of the 2022 CONCACAF Champions League, the Sounders participated in the recent 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Since their exit from the Club World Cup, Seattle has found stronger form, losing once in 14 matches. In the League Cup, they topped their group with a perfect nine points. The Rave Green edged Puebla on penalties in the quarter final and beat LA Galaxy 2-0 in the semi final. With just one loss since the Club World Cup, they now seek glory on home soil.
Albert Rusnak and Ryan Kent are out of the final with a hamstring injury. Paul Arriola, Joao Paulo, and Jordan Morris are also out of this clash.
Inter Miami’s MLS campaign has also produced mixed results, yet they remain playoff contenders. Their league record stands at 13 wins, seven draws, and five defeats. This tally positions them sixth in the Eastern Conference standings with 46 points. Their participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup marked historic progress. Miami advanced from the group stage with five points, a first for any MLS team in the competition’s history. However, their knockout journey ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat to PSG.
Despite that setback, the experience provided confidence and valuable exposure against world-class opponents. Their Leagues Cup campaign has been a story of redemption after last year’s disappointment. The Herons came second in the group stage with eight points before edging Tigres 2-1 in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, they defeated Orlando City 3-1 with Messi scoring twice. Now chasing a second Leagues Cup title, Inter Miami enters the final with strong motivation.
Messi returned for the semifinal and will feature in this matchup. Jordi Alba and Allen Obando will miss out due to injuries.

Inter Miami’s path to the final reflects resilience and adaptability under pressure. The Herons overcame both MLS and Liga MX opponents, including a hard-fought quarterfinal victory over Tigres UANL. Their 3–1 win over Pumas UNAM highlighted the squad’s depth, achieved despite the absence of their talisman, Leo Messi. The semifinal comeback against rivals Orlando City further shows they have what it takes to win big games. With Messi now back to full fitness, their chances of winning this game have grown significantly. Having already lifted the Leagues Cup in 2023, their experience could be a decisive factor against the Seattle Sounders.

Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami have displayed attacking flair in several high-scoring Leagues Cup encounters. Seattle impressed in the group stage, notably thrashing Cruz Azul 7-0 and averaging 2.6 goals per game. Inter Miami similarly averages 2.4 goals, with three of their last four matches exceeding three goals. Their attack, powered by Messi and Suárez, poses constant danger. The Sounders also rely on Pedro de la Vega, already with three tournament goals. With good finishers on both sides, another high-scoring clash exceeding three goals appears highly probable. The best odds for football betting on this option are 2.50 (3/2).

Lionel Messi is among football’s greatest scorers and has excelled since joining Major League Soccer. His Leagues Cup record is outstanding, with 12 goals since 2023, highlighting his consistent brilliance. In MLS this season, Messi has netted 19 goals, just one behind the top goalscorer, Sam Surridge. His semifinal brace against Orlando City, capped by the decisive winner, underlined his match-winning impact. As his team’s designated penalty taker, his chances of scoring rise even further. With clinical finishing and world-class instincts, he stands out as a decisive threat in this final.
