Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Inter Miami?
Inter Miami is a completely different team than the one we saw in the first half of the MLS season. From being the worst team in the North American league, the team led by Argentine star Leo Messi and his friends and teammates, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, are now in the Grand Final of the Leagues Cup 2023.
In addition, this is a historic milestone for this team, as, for the first time, they will play in a Grand Final and, above all, the first time they qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League.
Inter Miami comes from an exceptional tournament where they left Charlotte FC (4-0) in the Quarterfinals and Philadelphia Union (4-1) in the Semifinals. Now, they must prove their worth against one of the strongest teams in MLS, Nashville.
Why Bet on Nashville?
On the other hand, we have Nashville, one of the strongest, most powerful, and most fearsome teams currently in MLS. While it is true that the team is not in the fight for the top of the MLS Eastern Conference standings, in this Leagues Cup, they showed a much higher level than their rivals.
Also, like Inter Miami, Nashville has left very strong contenders on the road in these Leagues Cup playoffs. In Round 32, they defeated Cincinnati (MLS Eastern Conference leaders) 5-4 on penalty kicks.
Then, also via penalty shootout, they defeated America (Liga MX) 6-5. In the quarterfinals, they crushed Minnesota 5-0; finally, in the semifinals, they defeated Monterrey 2-0.
Now, we will have to wait and see what approach the team has to this renewed Inter Miami with new stars in the team and with a lineup that seems to have been infected with the arrival of Messi.
Final Betting Analysis: Inter Miami vs. Nashville
In the 8 matches between these two teams in MLS history, Nashville leads the series with 4 wins. Inter Miami, for its part, has won on 2 occasions, while 2 matches have ended in a draw.
Similarly, Inter Miami defeated Nashville in the last match between them last May 24, 2023, in the USA Open Cup.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Inter Miami at -105, while Nashville starts at +275.
While it is true that Inter Miami’s level in the first half of the season was disappointing, after the addition of Messi, Alba, and Busquets, the team radically changed its style of play. In addition, the rest of the players seem to have caught the level of this trio of stars, so our prediction is a 3-1 victory for Inter Miami.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Inter Miami. For example, if you put $100 on Miami at -105, you’ll see a $95.24 win with a total payout of $195.24.
