On Wednesday evening, there's a huge game taking place in Fort Lauderdale, where at Chase Stadium, Inter Miami and the Vancouver Whitecaps will clash in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-final. Having lost the first leg away from home, going down by two goals to zero, Javier Mascherano's men have plenty of work on their hands to make the final of this competition.
Of course, with someone like Lionel Messi pulling the strings, we know that the hosts are capable of scoring goals at home and they surely have the offensive quality to turn this around, but do they have the defensive nous? The Whitecaps can hurt teams, especially on the break, so it's fair to say that the Inter Miami boy find themselves in a tricky situation here. Do they go all out? Or do they opt for a more tactical approach? We'll find out at Chase Stadium.

Inter Miami CF - Vancouver Whitecaps: Form Analysis
Ahead of last week's first leg in Vancouver, the Miami boys had been in quite solid form. Having got the job done (over two legs) against LAFC in the previous round of this competition, they continued to tick along nicely in Major League Soccer, tying against Chicago, before beating the Columbus Crew, keeping back-to-back clean sheets. Unfortunately, such form didn't act as a platform from which to build in Canada, a defeat that paved the way for further disappointment as they lost to FC Dallas at the weekend.
For the Whitecaps, there's been no such downturn in form of late. Prior to winning the first leg in front of a home crowd, Jesper Sorensen's men had gone six games unbeaten, while they followed up last week's first-leg success with a solid away-day win against Minnesota at the weekend. As a result, the visitors will surely fancy themselves to get the job done here.

Inter Miami CF & Vancouver Whitecaps Squad Analysis
Inter Miami were without their big-name stars at the weekend, with head coach Javier Mascherano opting to rest the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who despite being huge players are a career stage that requires serious management of game time. Jordi Alba was also rested at the weekend. The three ex Barcelona stars are all expected to be back in the starting XI on Wednesday, though. Telasco Segovia could also return to the starting team.
The Whitecaps could also rest a few players at the weekend, at least from the start, with the likes of Pedro Vite, Brian White and Sebastian Berhalter all beginning the game in Minnesota on the bench. All three are expected to return to the starting XI here.

Our Inter Miami CF vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
The way this tie is now set up should lend itself to goals, perhaps a little more than the early odds suggest. After all, we know that the hosts can do lots of damage at home, but they do struggle to guard against the break, which is where the visitors can do some damage, even if they find it much harder to keep their opponents out than they did at home. Our Inter Miami vs Vancouver Whitecaps Pick: Both Teams to Score.
Inter Miami CF vs Vancouver Whitecaps - Other Interesting Picks
Lionel Messi to Score
Let's be real for a second, Lionel Messi delivers the goods in big games for Inter Miami and this is a huge game. With the Argentine rested at the weekend, we can expect a fully fresh and raring-to-go magic man to be at his best for the hosts, and given the fact that he's averaging 0.62 goals per 90 minutes this season, he looks a good bet to notch when Mascherano's men need him to most.
