Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Inter Miami at 76.5%, the draw at 13.9%, and San Diego at 9.3% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-0 at 9.7% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Inter Miami
Miami’s last five league outings read L‑W‑D‑D‑D, highlighted by a 7‑1 home thrashing of CF Montreal and a 2‑2 draw at Chicago Fire. The heavy win shows their capacity to flood the net, while the three recent draws underline defensive solidity, both of which support a home victory here.
San Diego
San Diego have gone W‑W‑L‑L‑L, with back‑to‑back home wins 3‑0 over Colorado Rapids and 3‑1 over Los Angeles Galaxy, then a 0‑1 away loss to Orlando City, a 2‑3 home defeat to San Jose Earthquakes, and a 0‑5 home loss to Philadelphia Union. The three consecutive defeats, including the recent 2‑3 loss, signal a sharp dip in form that weakens their chances of stealing points in Miami.
