Despite the wide odds, Sunday's match between Inter Miami and Paris Saint-Germain should be one of the most interesting games of the Round of 16.
PSG is just a month removed from winning their first-ever Champions League title and was dominant in Ligue 1 this season, but they will be wary of Miami's star power in an elimination game.
A core of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba is still enough to give any team in the world issues on its day.
Nonetheless, PSG is a -1500 favorite to advance, and they are -600 to win the match in regulation.
Gold Cup: PSG vs. Inter Miami betting preview
It must be said that Inter Miami is a little fortunate to be in this position.
The Herons went 1-1-1 with a plus-1 goal difference (four goals for, three goals against) against Al Ahly, FC Porto and Palmeiras in the group stage, but their underlying stats were not all that pretty.
Inter Miami boasted a -2.3 expected goal difference in the three group-stage matches, and they were thoroughly outshot in each match.

It's not a massive concern for Inter Miami that they were out-chanced because they have the finishing talent to make the most of their opportunities, but it's a dangerous game to play against Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter Miami will need to tighten up defensively if it's going to have a chance in this match.

Gold Cup: PSG vs. Inter Miami pick
It's hard to see a team built like Inter Miami digging in and daring PSG to break them down, so it feels like the Herons will go into this match with the intention of trying to take on the champions of Europe.
For most big underdogs, that would not be an advisable move, but Inter Miami has enough playmaking talent to give PSG a headache.
There's a couple of different ways to play this match, but my favorite bet on the board is Inter Miami to score first (+320), followed by there to be Over 2.5 goals in the first half.
The Plays: Inter Miami to score first (+320), 1H Over 2.5 goals (+310, FanDuel)

🥇 Sunday's World Cup highlights: generous Messi, Leila ‘Balboa' and Didico
The round of 16 of the World Cup continued this Sunday (29). Another quarter-final duel was defined after PSG and Bayern dispatched Inter Miami and Flamengo, respectively. You can subscribe to DAZN to watch all the FIFA Club World Cup games for free. Advertisement And there were highlights on social media. With Leila Pereira taking the lead and much more. Leila 'Balboa' 🥊 It's impossible to go to Philadelphia and not repeat the steps of Rocky Balboa, the character immortalized by Sylvester Stallone back in 1976, right? That's what Leila Pereira did when she climbed the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art staircase. Which became the Rocky Steps after a statue of the character was installed there. The president of Palmeiras celebrated the team's qualification to the World Cup quarter-finals in this way. And, of course, there was a photo "next to" Rocky. It got tough, Messi... Lionel Messi had "only" his former club in front of him this Sunday. Advertisement The star faced an "away" game even while playing in the United States. The match was played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in Atlanta. The stadium that is home to Atlanta Utd. There was even an unkind banner reminding of Messi's losses against the local rival. Atlanta also defeated Inter Miami 5 x 2 in September 2023. But Messi didn't play. The Argentine, on the other hand, has three victories against the rival. The other match between the teams with Messi on the field ended in a draw. Speaking of Messi... Lionel had a reunion with several former teammates. Dembélé, for example, played with him at Barcelona - he moved to PSG after Messi's departure. Advertisement And he took almost EVERYTHING from the Inter Miami star home. Many joked about the situation: Dembélé also got shirts from two other former Barça teammates: Did Busquets not want to collaborate? It raises the question. Was there a spot for him? Former striker Adriano couldn't contain himself in the final minutes of Flamengo 2 x 4 Bayern. Would it have been different with him there?
