Group A action at the 2025 Club World Cup got off to a balanced start, with no side able to grab an early edge. Now, Inter Miami has a golden opportunity to move closer to the round of 16 but Lionel Messi and company face a tough hurdle in FC Porto, with the two teams set to clash at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Inter Miami’s scoreless draw with Al Ahly may not have produced fireworks, but it proved valuable. Javier Mascherano’s men looked off the pace in the first half but regrouped well after the break and came close to snatching a late winner. It was a gritty performance that keeps the Herons in the hunt, with Messi, Suarez, and Busquets still chasing a deep run in the tournament.

Porto, meanwhile, has some proving to do. The Portuguese giants, second only to Benfica in domestic titles, were outplayed by Palmeiras, South America’s top side from the current Libertadores campaign. But a goalless draw was far from a disaster, and it sets the stage for Sergio Conceicao’s side to bounce back in a big way against Miami and assert themselves as Group A frontrunners.

According to Parimatch, Porto enters the match as the clear favorite at 1.88, while Inter Miami’s win is pegged at a much longer 4.05. A draw sits at 3.88, but with the stakes rising, expect both teams to push for more than just a point.

Inter Miami vs. Porto prediction, tips, bet builder and odds for Club World Cup clash

Lionel Messi 1.5+ shots on target: 1.60 (Melbet)

Even at 37, Lionel Messi continues to chase greatness—and he’s got unfinished business at the Club World Cup. While he didn’t find the net in his opening match against Al Ahly, the Argentine maestro wasn’t shy about pulling the trigger, firing five shots (all from distance), two of which forced saves. With Porto conceding a whopping 17 shots to Palmeiras, Messi will see this as an open invitation. He’s knocking at the door, and the odds for him to finally get on the scoresheet sit at an enticing 2.90.

Both Teams To Score & Total Goals 2.5+: 2.05 (Melbet)

While other groups brought fireworks on matchday one, Group A held back—but that’s unlikely to last. Inter Miami looked sharp in the second half against Al Ahly, but their defensive lapses left plenty of questions. Messi and Suárez came close but were denied by a stellar Mohamed El Shenawy, and you can bet they’re itching to make their mark. As for Porto, their finishing touch let them down against Palmeiras, but they managed 11 attempts, including a few that nearly hit paydirt. Expect goals on both ends—and more than just a couple.
