The 2025 MLS season reaches its climax on Saturday, December 6 as Inter Miami face Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup final at Chase Stadium. Neither side has ever lifted this trophy before, which guarantees a historic moment when the final whistle blows. Expectations are high for what could be one of the most exciting final of recent years.
Inter Miami arrive at the showpiece full of confidence. Javier Mascherano’s men have been ruthless in the playoffs, winning their last three matches by at least four goals. They scored 98 goals across the regular season and postseason, the highest total in a single MLS campaign. This is their first MLS Cup appearance and they will rely on a raucous Florida crowd to give them momentum.
Inter Miami have not managed to beat Vancouver all season, which will sit at the back of their minds. Even with world-class attacking talent and big-match experience in the squad, they cannot afford to switch off. The pressure will also be heightened by the fact that two Miami players are retiring after this final, which will add emotional weight to the occasion.
On the other hand, Vancouver Whitecaps come into this match believing they can cause an upset. The Whitecaps earned their place in the final with a fine 3-1 road win over Western Conference champions San Diego. Under Jesper Sorensen, they set club records for most points, wins and goals this season.
The Whitecaps have already beaten Inter Miami over two legs this season as they winning 5-1 on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals. Vancouver Whitecaps also lifted the Canadian Championship for the fourth year running earlier in the campaign.
One of the biggest matchups to watch will be Lionel Messi against Thomas Muller. The two legends have faced each other ten times for club and country, with Muller on the winning side in seven of those meetings. That individual battle adds more spice to a final that already promises goals, drama and a new MLS champion.
Over 3.5 Goals looks a realistic option based on both teams’ recent form. Inter Miami have scored at least four goals in each of their last three matches, including five against New York City and four away at Cincinnati. Vancouver also carry threat, hitting three past San Diego and averaging over two goals a game across their recent run. With attacking talent on display and both sides showing they can score in bunches, this final has the potential to open up and produce plenty of chances at Chase Stadium.

Tadeo Allende to score anytime @ +190 looks an attractive pick given his current playoff form. The forward has eight goals and two assists in five postseason games and hit a hat trick in the Eastern Conference final as Inter Miami thrashed NYCFC 5-1. That shows how confident and clinical he is in front of goal right now. With Miami likely to create plenty of chances again in the MLS Cup final, backing Allende to find the net at this price makes sense.
Inter Miami vs Vancouver Whitecaps Final Scoreline Prediction
Both teams arrive in the final in free scoring form. Inter Miami have hit four or more in each of their last three games, while Vancouver have shown they can hurt opponents on the road. The Whitecaps have already beaten Miami over two legs this year. However, Miami are in imperious form currently and have the stronger attacking depth. With the backing of the Chase Stadium crowd, that extra firepower could tilt the final in Miami’s favour.
