Tune in to MLS League Pass on Apple TV to catch the 2025 MLS regular season showdown between SJ Earthquakes and Inter Miami, live in the USA.

Following their recent elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup and a tough loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend, Inter Miami are aiming to bounce back in league play. Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba will feature, as the team looks to secure a much-needed win.

Meanwhile, San Jose have struggled in the Western Conference. A win could help the Earthquakes stay in the top seven spots that qualify for the next round of the MLS. They’ll rely on Cristian Arango and Josef Martinez, Messi’s former teammate at Inter Miami, to lead the charge.

Is Lionel Messi playing in San Jose tonight?

Yes, Messi will play against the Earthquakes. He traveled with the squad, trained on Tuesday and coach Javier Mascherano included him in the starting lineup. With several key players in the lineup, Inter Miami will aim to return to winning form and reward their supporters after recent setbacks.

One of the team’s major concerns has been defense, while the attack continues to shine. Messi has scored five goals and provided two assists in eight MLS matches this season. Suarez has contributed two goals and six assists across nine appearances.

Inter Miami’s confirmed lineup

Head coach Javier Mascherano is counting on his veterans to step up tonight in California. With Messi, Alba, and Busquets in the lineup, Inter Miami will be at near full strength for this key fixture.

Inter Miami’s starting XI:

Goalkeeper: Ustari
Defenders: Weigandt, Falcon, Allen, Alba
Midfielders: Bright, Busquets, Cremaschi
Forwards: Allende, Messi, Segovia

According to Tom Bogert, Berhalter is reportedly a finalist for the sporting director role with the Chicago Fire but could also take on a dual role, which would mean that he could return to coaching. The Fire reportedly spoke to Berhalter, and the coach is considering the position.

Berhalter is also reportedly a candidate for the San Jose Earthquakes job, but neither position is considered prestigious in MLS circles, as both teams have struggled significantly over the last few years.

Gregg Berhalter’s Coaching Profile

Gregg Berhalter’s coaching style is characterized by a strong emphasis on tactical organization, possession-based play, and player development. He prioritizes a high-pressing system that encourages players to win the ball back quickly, fostering an attacking mindset. Berhalter also values versatility, often deploying players in multiple positions to maximize their skills and adaptability on the field.

Communication and relationships are key elements of his approach; he believes in building a cohesive team culture where players understand their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, Berhalter focuses on instilling a sense of accountability and professionalism among his players, ensuring they are mentally prepared for high-pressure situations.

In two stints with the USMNT, Gregg Berhalter achieved a 44-17-13 record and guided the team to a round of 16 run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He also won the CONCACAF Nations League titles in 2019–20 and 2023–24, as well as the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021.

LAFC advanced to the quarterfinals for the second consecutive year and will face Seattle Sounders. The Black and Gold have won four of their last five matches, three of which were clean sheets.

Bouanga has reached four goals in this edition of the Leagues Cup, including his first double in the competition. San Jose, on the other hand, has won only one of their last seven matches in regular time.
