Lionel Messi and Inter Miami are set to head back on the road, this time north of the border with a trip to Montreal.
CF Montreal host Inter Miami on Saturday, May 11 in the cozy confines of Stade Saputo. It will be a game of revenge in a sense, as the last time these two teams met in Florida, Montreal came away as shock 3-2 winners.
Messi meanwhile is coming off a record-breaking game last week against the New York Red Bulls. He was involved in every goal for Inter Miami, scoring once and assisting on five in a 6-2 win. He'll be looking for another strong performance while the home side's defense will have to figure out how to slow the superstar down.

Inter Miami vs. Montreal lineups, team news
Matias Rojas has hit the ground running for Inter Miami, scoring two goals in his second appearance off the bench for the Herons. He's been a huge addition following the injury to compatriot Diego Gomez, and he'll align perfectly with Gerardo Martino's attacking style of play. Meanwhile, Miami for this weekend will be without defender Tomas Aviles due to a yellow card suspension.
Inter Miami predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Callender (GK) — Weigandt, Freire, Kryvtsov, Negri — Gressel, Busquets, Rojas — Messi, Suarez, Taylor.
Inter Miami subs (9): TBC
Coach Laurent Courtois is winless in his last three matches, including a 4-1 drubbing to Nashville SC. Last week, Montreal were without eight squad players including Matias Coccaro and Josef Martinez, so Courtois will have to be creative on Saturday in terms of finding the right pieces to handle Messi.
CF Montreal predicted XI (3-4-3 right to left): Sirois (GK) — Campbell, Waterman, Alvarez — Ruan, Wanyama, Choiniere, Edwards — Duke, Toye, Lassiter.

Inter Miami vs. Montreal prediction
Since Messi returned from injury, Inter Miami has won four straight games, scoring 16 goals along the way. Messi is in the best form across the league and as long as he's on the field, he's essentially unstoppable. The way he combines with Sergio Busquets in midfield and Luis Suarez up top has separated Inter Miami from the rest of the league.
Inter Miami could score more, but on the road, they'll settle for three goals and a convincing win.
Prediction: Inter Miami 3-1 CF Montreal
