New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions
Prediction
New York Red Bulls 2, Inter Miami 1
Moneyline (ML)
NEW YORK RED BULLS (+135) are catching a break with Messi doubtful to suit up. Before the Argentine’s arrival, Inter Miami (+170) was “messy”. This team was erratic, rarely won, and it was not a team you’d want to bet on.
The Red Bulls won 1-0 at DRV PNK Stadium in South Florida in the most recent meeting on May 31.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 2.5 (-155) is the play, although it will cost you.
The Red Bulls have scored in 7 straight matches, although they’re averaging just 1.0 goals per game (GPG) in the past 3 outings. Still, New York has seen 3 or more total goals in 7 of its past 8 matches.
Inter Miami has seen 3 or more total goals in 6 of the past 7 matches dating back to their May 31 meetings with the Red Bulls.
