Football fans in India can get ready for an exciting Major League Soccer (MLS) clash. Inter Miami hosts the Los Angeles Galaxy at their home stadium on Sunday, August 17, 2025. The match kicks off at 5:00 AM IST. Viewers can catch all the live action exclusively on the MLS Pass on Apple TV.
The positive news for Miami supporters is that Messi has rejoined full team training from August 13. Head coach Javier Mascherano confirmed that the forward has been working with the squad and is expected to be available for the LA Galaxy match.
While Mascherano stopped short of guaranteeing a full 90-minute outing, he admitted Messi’s condition has improved significantly and that he should feature in the game. Team management is still expected to manage his minutes carefully to avoid any recurrence of the injury.
Inter Miami enters this contest as the clear favorite, even with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over their superstar, Lionel Messi. A recent injury might sideline the Argentine maestro, a huge blow for any team. However, the team’s recent performance shows they have the depth to overcome this challenge. They have won three of their last five matches and remain unbeaten in four, demonstrating strong form.
In stark contrast, the Los Angeles Galaxy, the defending champions, are experiencing a season to forget. They currently sit at the bottom of the league table. Their struggles are particularly noticeable on the road, where they have failed to secure a single win in 13 attempts. This makes their trip to Miami, a fortress where the home side is unbeaten in nine games, a daunting task.
Considering Inter Miami’s potent attack and LA Galaxy’s leaky defense—the worst in the league—we predict a comfortable 3-1 victory for Inter Miami.
While official lineups are announced closer to the game, we can expect Messi’s return could prove crucial in boosting the team’s attack and morale ahead of that challenge. Their strategy will likely focus on exploiting LA Galaxy’s defensive weaknesses from the start.
For the visitors, the LA Galaxy team news is bleak. They are in a deep slump and need a miracle to turn their season around. Their primary challenge will be shoring up a defense that has conceded the most goals in the MLS this season.
Historically, matchups between these two teams have been competitive. However, the current season’s form guide tells a different story. Inter Miami’s high-flying offense, which has scored the most goals in the league, goes up against a struggling LA Galaxy side. The Inter Miami vs Los Angeles Galaxy H2H record for this season heavily favors the home team.
For fans wondering where to watch the match, the MLS live stream in India is available exclusively on the MLS Pass on Apple TV. Don’t miss this exciting encounter as Inter Miami looks to continue their strong run against a desperate LA Galaxy.
