New England Revolution — Inter Miami: Preview
We have the predictions for the encounter between New England Revolution and Inter Miami in the 33rd round of the MLS 2026 season. "New England" took the lead and has not lost points in four consecutive rounds, while "Inter Miami" slowed down after a series of spectacular victories. However, the visitors have wildcards capable of ruining the locals’ celebration.
Key Points
New England Revolution
1. Four consecutive wins — already a contender
"New England" is carrying the final phase of the regular season excellently. The team beat Cincinnati away 3:2, then defeated Chicago Fire 1:0 and Philadelphia 2:1, and in the last round staged a shootout with New York Red Bulls 3:2. The win over Philadelphia is especially valuable: it interrupted the rival’s 15‑match unbeaten streak. The success in the last match was also decisive: after taking a two‑goal lead, the visitors equalised, but Daniel Gazdag scored the decisive goal in the 83rd minute.
2. The attack has losses, but the leaders are standing
Before the match against Inter Miami, the home side has several squad questions. Alhassan Yusuf probably will not play due to a hamstring injury. Jack Harrison remains doubtful, and Leonardo Campana also does not seem to recover in time. Campana played before at Inter, but he could now miss the match against his former club. However, the main protagonists of New England’s attack are in the squad. Dor Turgeon scored five goals in the last four matches, and Carlos Hill continues to deliver assists.
3. "Jersey Stadium" becomes a real fortress
New England has a strong reason to trust home success. The team has won 11 matches at its stadium this season — another win would repeat the club record. In addition, the home side has already secured the home advantage in the first playoff round. Carlos Hill deserves special attention: the Spaniard has completed an assist in four consecutive matches. Against Inter, this could be a decisive resource: the visitors will have to contain not only Turgeon’s finishing but also Hill’s constant creation of chances. Still, it is too early to relax.
Inter Miami
1. The champion reduced its pace at the most untimely moment
Inter Miami is approaching its last home trip of the regular season after two winless matches. First the team lost to New York Red Bulls 0:2, and then drew 2:2 with Cincinnati, with Riquelme Filippo’s goal saving the defeat in the 90th minute. Before that, the results were much more pleasant: a 3:1 win over Atlanta, a 2:0 win over New York City, and a 4:0 demolition of D.C. United. Still, the recent dip does not negate the team’s offensive power: Miami already has 72 goals in the league.
2. The attack has options, but also losses
Tadeo Alden and Mateo Silvestti are still recovering from injuries, and Frizio Kaysedo is among the unavailable players. The loss of Alden is especially unpleasant given his role in offensive rotation, and Silvestti’s absence reduces options on the flanks. However, in the last match against Cincinnati, experienced players remembered their presence: Luis Suárez opened the score with a striking shot, and Rodrigo De Paul stood out with a productive assist. Another reason for optimism is Riquelme, who came on as a substitute and scored his first goal for the club.
3. Messi must return to be the centre of attention
Inter’s great wildcard remains Lionel Messi. The Argentine leads the MLS scoring race with 25 goals, but in the last two matches he neither scored nor assisted. For a player of his level, it is more a brief pause than a reason to talk about relegation, but now the team especially needs his usual contribution. There is also a historical argument in favour of the visitors: Miami has not lost to New England in the last five league meetings, and the two previous visits to the rival’s stadium ended with victories. The home side, however, is on a streak and has won four consecutive matches.

Forecast
New England Revolution vs Inter Miami 02.11.2026 04:00
"New England" arrives at the match with four consecutive wins, and Marco Mitrovic’s men beat Philadelphia (2:1) and Cincinnati (3:2). The attack relies on Dor Turgeon’s productivity and Carlos Hill’s creation, who delivered assists in four consecutive matches. The losses of Alhassan Yusuf and Leonardo Campana limit the selection, but key offensive players are available. "Inter" after losing to Red Bulls played a draw with Cincinnati, although before had scored four goals against D.C. United and comfortably beat New York City. The team has 72 goals in the league, and the ones that follow are Messi and Suárez, but Alden and Silvestti are injured, and Messi has not scored or assisted in the last two rounds. The direct encounter history favours the visitors, but the current form and New England’s home statistics favour the locals. Both teams will find their moments, but the Revolution’s run and the stadium factor could tilt the balance in their favour.
Forecast: 3-1
