Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Inter Miami?
Since the return of the MLS, Inter Miami has lost only one game in seven opportunities, which maintains the hope of getting into the postseason.
In their last match, the Florida team tied 1-1 with Orlando City, making David Ruiz’s goal insufficient to take the three points.
Although Inter is second to last, they have a game in hand and if they win it they will move up two or three places, so Lionel Messi must lead his teammates, as he should be back after overcoming some physical discomfort.
It is five games unbeaten at home for the Fort Lauderdale side, who have won their last two matches there, which were against Sporting Kansas City and Toronto FC.
In addition to getting Messi back, Gerardo ‘El Tata’ Martino should be able to count on full-back Jordi Alba and midfielder Sergio Busquets, who were absent in the last match.
Why Bet on NYC FC?
New York City has been on a great run and has climbed to ninth place with 37 points, entering the wild card for the postseason for now.
Andrés Felipe Perea, Andrés Jasson, and Julián Fernández scored the goals as the team from the ‘Big Apple’ overcame Toronto, which is the worst team of the MLS, 3-0.
New York’s unbeaten streak includes five matches without a loss, with two draws and three wins, conceding just one goal so far. In addition, this season’s previous match against Inter was won 1-0.
In the last 10 away games, the ‘Pigeons’ have only won once, which speaks of a clear problem for Nick Cushing’s trainees.
The only player coming off injury is 36-year-old Argentine creative midfielder Maximiliano Moralez.
Final Betting Analysis: Inter Miami vs. NYC FC
The MLS features a duel between two teams that are on a good run and aspire to qualify for the postseason. Although New York has moved up the standings in recent weeks, they are a terrible away team so far and that’s why Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, should win at home.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have Inter Miami as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows -142, meanwhile New York City has +375 and the draw is +285.
This season, these clubs have already played each other and the victory went to New York City, thanks to an own goal by Christopher McVey. In addition, the ‘Big Apple’ team has only lost one of its last three matches visiting Inter.
