Soccer fans are in for a midweek treat with 12 matches set to be played in the MLS on Wednesday, May 29. Five games are scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET, including Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF hosting Atlanta United at Chase Stadium. Inter Miami sits atop the MLS standings with 34 points, but FC Cincinnati is just one point behind with a game in hand. Cincinnati will host Nashville SC in an Eastern Conference rivalry matchup on Wednesday at 7:30.

Over in the Western Conference, several matchups could potentially shake up the standings, including Seattle Sounders vs. Real Salt Lake (10:30 p.m.) and LAFC vs. Minnesota United (9:45 p.m.).

Top MLS predictions for Wednesday, May 29

One of Sutton's MLS score predictions is that Messi leads Inter Miami (-220) to a comfortable 3-1 victory at home against Atlanta United. Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets were all rested on Saturday, but the Herons still walked away with a 2-1 win on the road against Vancouver. Miami's dynamic trio will be well-rested ahead of this clash, which doesn't bode well for an Atlanta side that has scored just one goal in their last four matches across all competitions.

Messi has 10 goals and 12 assists this season and Suarez has found the back of the net 11 times in 2024. Inter Miami have scored 12 goals in their last four matches at home, while Atlanta United are winless in their last nine matches in MLS play. In addition, the Herons have won three straight at home, outscoring opponents 10-3 during that span. See the rest of Sutton's MLS score predictions here.
