At the end of last season, the Los Angeles team was in second-to-last place in the Western Conference standings. The Galaxy have won only 8 of their 34 MLS games and have also drawn 12 times. During this period, they scored 51 goals and lost 67, the most.
Los Angeles also had a poor performance in the League Cup. He failed to advance beyond the group stage of the tournament. Galaxy lost to León (0-1) and Vancouver (1-2). Over the winter they went through a number of important changes, but it is still difficult to know whether they will have a beneficial or negative effect on the team.
Many players have left Los Angeles, notably former Bayern and Juventus winger Douglas Costa, as well as former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez. The club acquired productive Genk forward Joseph Paintsil, promising Vasco da Gama midfielder Gabriel Peca and several other players.
In the updated form, the Galaxy played six friendly matches, in which only the New York Red Bulls won (2:0) and also drew with New York City (2:2). The Los Angeles team lost to Nordsjaelland (1-5), St. Louis City (1-2), Charlotte (0-3) and Austin (1-3).

Inter Miami also finished the season at the bottom of the MLS championship standings. However, they managed to win the League Cup. Lionel Messi especially contributed to the success. In seven games, the famous Argentine scored 10 goals and one assist. He scored not only beautiful goals, but also very important ones.
The Argentine gave fans hope that the “Herons” could reach the playoffs of the MLS Championship, but then he was injured. Without Messi, David Beckham’s team was not competitive. Therefore, it was necessary to reinforce the team with quality newcomers.
In winter, Messi’s former teammate Luis Suarez, son of former legendary Real Madrid footballer Fernando Redondo Federico, and several other players joined Inter Miami. The “heron” training camp did not go in the best way. In friendly matches, Gerardo Martino’s team lost to Al-Hilal (3-4) and Al-Nasr (0-6).
It’s too early to think about Real Madrid:

However, the Herons started the new MLS championship season quite well. They confidently defeated Real Salt Lake (2-0). The main hero of the match was Messi. He first made a pass that Robert Taylor converted into a goal. Then Lionel accelerated the attack, passed the ball to Suárez and the Uruguayan made a touch to Diego Gómez, who sent the ball into the rival goal.
This combination was reminiscent of the times when Messi and Suárez played together at Barcelona. In a post-match interview, Gerardo Martino highlighted that the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner feels physically good and motivated. He stressed that this makes him happy.
You can bet on Inter Miami to win the next match at bookmakers with odds of 2.46. The fact is that the Galaxy have not played a single official game this season. It is difficult to say how the updated squad will behave and in what tone the players will be.
It is also worth noting that the “herons” have much better equipment. In addition to Messi, Suárez and Federico Redondo, Jordi Alba, former Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin and Sergio Busquets play for them. David Beckham’s club is seen as one of the main contenders to win the MLS championship.
