Why Bet on Seattle Sounders?

Seattle Sounders were the best team in the group stage, the only side to win all three of their matches, crushing Cruz Azul 7-0 and then beating Santos and Tijuana 2-1.

In the quarterfinals, they struggled and drew 0-0 with Puebla before defeating them 4-3 on penalties.In the semifinals, things went better as they beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-0 with goals from Pedro de la Vega and Osaze De Rosario.

One thing Brian Schmetzer’s team must improve is discipline. They have received three red cards in their last four matches in this tournament, which is why defender Nouhou Tolo will not be able to play in the final.

In addition to Nouhou, there are several important injury absences, the most notable being stars Albert Rusnák and Jordan Morris. Along with them, João Paulo and Ryan Kent are out, while Paul Arriola is doubtful. The good news is that Daniel Musovski returns after serving his suspension.

They do have the advantage of playing at home, where they have only lost one match this season—against Minnesota United (2-3) on June 1.

This will be their second Leagues Cup final after losing the 2021 final to Club León 3-2.

Why Bet on Inter Miami?

Inter Miami wants to become the first team to win two Leagues Cup titles, after lifting the 2023 trophy, the first in the young history of the club.

In this tournament, they beat Atlas (2-1) and Pumas (2-1), as well as drawing 2-2 with Necaxa and defeating them 5-4 on penalties in the group stage. In the quarterfinals, they pulled off a surprise by beating Tigres 2-1, without Lionel Messi, thanks to two penalties from Luis Suárez.

And now the semifinal was surrounded by controversy. Orlando City were leading 1-0, but a very controversial foul called by the referee for a push by David Brekalo ended in a penalty and a red card for the defender, sent off with a second yellow in the 77th minute.Messi converted the penalty to equalize, then in the 88th minute gave his team the lead, and in the 90+1 Telasco Segovia sealed the victory.

Now Javier Mascherano’s team, with all their stars available, will go in search of the title, as they have already secured qualification for the upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Final Betting Analysis: Seattle Sounders vs. Inter Miami

A final is a final. These matches are played completely differently from any other game, and many times the analysis doesn’t even matter. However, we believe Inter Miami have better players, not only in terms of footballing quality but also with much more experience in this type of match, and that’s why they will come away with the victory.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Inter Miami as the favorite, with their Moneyline at +120, while Seattle Sounders are at +160 and the draw at +240.

These two teams have only faced each other once in history, on April 16, 2022, when Inter Miami won 0-1 away with a goal from Robbie Robinson, back when none of the current stars were yet on the team.

Go for a win for Inter Miami. If you bet $100 at +120, you will gain $120 for a total payout of $220.
