CF Montreal vs. Inter Miami CF picks and predictions
Prediction
Inter Miami 3, CF Montreal 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET INTER MIAMI (-125).
While Montreal has yet to lose at home, it certainly hasn’t dominated. It drew Orlando City 2-2 and beat FC Cincinnati 2-1, respectively, having as many and 0.1 more expected goals in those battles. Montreal beat Inter 3-2 earlier in the season, so Miami likely has that tucked in the back of its head.
Inter has won 4 straight games, all of which Messi has captained. Inter is 6-1-0 in games Messi captained. With the superstar set to be in the lineup, the road side should again come out strong. Take INTER MIAMI (-125).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (+130).
Inter Miami has gone Over in this total in 5 straight games and has topped it in 9 of their last 10. Inter has tallied at least 3 goals on its own in 4 straight games and has scored 24 goals in the 7 games Messi has captained the roster.
Montreal’s defense won’t put up much resistance, having allowed 12 goals in its last 5 games. Montreal has even gone Over this total in 3 of its last 5 games.
Considering the way both sides have played this season, back OVER 3.5 (+130).
