The game between Inter Miami and Cruz Azul is a part of the League Cup, which is an annual competition between teams from MLS and Mexican Liga MX. It has a competitive significance as the top three teams from this league earn the right to play in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Lionel Messi Props vs. Cruz Azul Offshore Betting Odds

Will Messi be substituted?

It is questionable whether Messi has enough endurance for the entire game, and probably, the head coach, Martino, won’t risk anything, so we don’t think he will play the whole 90 minutes. 

Odds
Yes1.80
No1.80

Will Messi receive a card? 

Games against the Mexican teams are always very feisty, but even so, Messi is experienced enough not to allow himself to be booked. 

Odds
Yes7
No1.10

Will Messi receive a red card?

Everything that applies to the upper paragraph is even more emphasized here. Seeing him being sent off will not happen, and BetOnline.ag odds support that. 

Odds
Yes20
No1.05

Will Messi Register an Assist?

The team from Miami has problems with scoring, but that’s because the former MLS MVP Joseph Martinez didn’t have a quality passer behind him. With Messi on board, that should change, and we could see the Argentinian racking up an assist. 

Odds
Yes2.20
No1.75

Will Messi Score Two or More Goals?

Such a start would definitely be a blast for Messi. In our opinion it’s worth taking a chance.

Odds
Yes6.50
No1.11

Will Messi Score in Regular Time? 

This is the question of all questions. The Mexicans have a solid defense, but Messi is one of the best of all time. Though, the bookies don’t give him that high chance.

Odds
Yes2.20
No1.75
