Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution: Preview, Where to Watch and Betting Odds

Inter Miami wrap up the 2024 regular season when the New England Revolution visits the Chase Stadium this weekend. Having already bagged the supporters shield, Inter Miami may be forgiven if they are already focused on the postseason. That is if you discount the hunger of Tata Martino’s men to break the MLS record for the highest points in a regular season. The Herons top the MLS with seventy-one points and will better the 73-point record set by the New England Revolution in 2021 if they win their last game. With many of their starters away on international duty, it may not be as easy as it looks on paper, however, Inter Miami are huge favorites to win the game.

Top of the Eastern Conference and the MLS, the 2024 season has been a record-breaking one for Inter Miami. Having already claimed the supporter's shield with games still to go, the Herons have understandably eased their foot on the pedal. After three consecutive draws, Lionel Messi and his team have won two in a row, a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew and a boring 1-0 win in Toronto. Luckily for them, New England is one of the worst teams in the league. In the wake of a standout season in which Messi has been inspirational, some talks ahead of this match have centered around Inter Miami owner David Beckham’s masterstroke, the acquisition of the serial Ballon d’Or winner. Inter Miami defeated New England 4-1 in the reverse fixture.

Bringing someone like Messi to America was a gift to the sport here. Sir Alex taught me that it’s not just about signing the biggest names but the right players. We knew he would succeed on the field, but we also knew his presence would boost the club off the field. He inspires the next generation in America.

Revolution visits Chase Stadium having lost their last three matches. New England cannot wait for the game to be over to bring closure to a horrid season that has already seen them lose twenty games. On the road, New England has lost twelve games and won four. Ironically, if they lose at the Chase stadium they will help Inter Miami beat the record they set in 2021 when they finished with 73 points, to set a record for most points in the regular season. Unfortunately, Caleb Porter’s 2024 team is nowhere near Bruce Arena’s record-setters.

We are going to be a part of history, one way or another. We are going to be a part of their [Inter Miami] history winning the highest point total in a season, or we are going to stop that from happening, which is what our goal is. Obviously, it won’t be easy, but we owe it to the 2021 team that set that record to do everything we can to not let that record be taken.
