Puebla vs. Inter Miami is the first game the defending Leagues Cup champions will play. The game is on the program on Saturday, July 17 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which in normal circumstances, serves as Inter Miami’s home venue.

Knowing this, it’s clear that the Herons will be the ones with fans on their side. The problem, however, is that fan favorite Lionel Messi will not play in the first round of the 2024 Leagues Cup. Will this cause a problem for his teammates? Let’s find out!

Before Betting on Puebla vs. Inter Miami

Puebla is one of the worst teams from the Mexican Liga MX. Since the start of the 2024 Apertura, they are 1-1-2, which is actually not too bad if they compare it with their record from the Clausura.

They went 1-2-14 in the Clausura, allowing 43 goals along the way. That’s over 2.50 goals per game on average. What’s even more interesting is that they conceded at least one goal in 24 of their last 25 games in all competitions.

Such disastrous defense is bound to suffer against Inter Miami despite the fact that the MLS team won’t be able to count on its best player, Lionel Messi.

Messi is out with a foot injury, but his teammates have been playing great lately. They won their last two games, showing incredible team spirit. The Herons scored two goals in those two games, which is close to their season average of 2.24 goals per game.
