Remarkably, the bottom club in the MLS overall standings is 90 minutes away from winning a trophy, having swept all who stood before it en route to reaching the Leagues Cup final.

Lionel Messi’s impact extends far beyond results and performances but he’s been imperious on the field since joining Inter Miami. He’s turned the Leagues Cup, what was initially seen as little more than a mid-season curiosity, into must-watch soccer.

His long-range arrow in Tuesday night’s semi-final thrashing of the Philadelphia Union was his ninth goal in his first six games on US soil. It was also the second of four his team scored against the team who finished as MLS Cup runner-up last year, with his old FC Barcelona buddy Jordi Alba also getting on the scoresheet.

Nashville is no slouch, having scored seven and conceded none across its last two knockout games, but even with home advantage in the final, Miami is understandably the clear favorite to win in 90 minutes (-115 to Nashville’s +250) or to hoist the trophy either by winning the game or winning a penalty shootout (-200 to +168).

Messi, meanwhile, is the favorite to score anytime (-210) or to score first (+185). He’s also just +230 to score twice or more and +950 to score a hat-trick in the final.

As well as getting a no-sweat first bet on the game via our FanDuel promo code, the sportsbook offers a range of lucrative promos, including:

• Odds boosts: Take advantage of improved odds and payouts on select markets.
• MLB profit boost: Get a 25% boost to an upcoming MLB bet.
• Referral bonus: If a friend signs up for FanDuel via your referral link, you’ll both receive $50 in bonus bets.
