In this first-round series, Inter Miami won the opening match 2-1 Oct. 25. Inter totaled a lofty 22 shots and put 12 on frame, compared to 8 and 2, respectively, for Atlanta. Miami also controlled 66% of the possession.

Atlanta United FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Atlanta United 2 (Inter advances in penalty kicks)

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+300).

While Miami is a favorite, and for good reason, it hasn’t played as well on the road as of late. It drew 2 of its last 4 road games, one of which was against Atlanta, and finished 2-2. In that match Sept. 18, Inter had 0.3 fewer expected goals as well. Miami has had fewer expected goals than its opponent in 2 of its last 4 games.

Atlanta is 2-1-1 in its last 4 games. It has kept close with opponents and played well down the final few weeks. It has scored at least 2 goals in 3 of its last 4. Expect it to get on the board and keep this one close with its season on the line.

Back DRAW (+300).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-120).

Three of Atlanta’s last 8 games have ended in a 2-2 draw. United’s defense played sloppy against Inter and should’ve given up far more in the first match, allowing 3.3 expected goals.

Miami should be able to convert those chances in the second match. Inter has gone over this total in 5 of its last 9 games and scored at least 3 goals in 2 of its last 3. Inter allowed 1.44 goals per game during the regular season.

Considering both teams’ lack of defensive aptitude, back OVER 3.5 (-120).

Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Inter Miami (21 wins, 8 draws, 4 losses) welcomes the New England Revolution (9-4-20) to Chase Stadium Saturday to wrap up their regular seasons. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami will have F Lionel Messi active, although reports are that he may not be among the starting XI. Messi has helped Inter be in a position to set the single-season points record with a win. Messi has 17 goals and a team-high 11 assists on the season. Miami has won 2 straight and 7 of its last 10. It is a strong 10-4-2 at home this season and has a league-best +26 goal differential.

The Revolution, who have consistently been among the best in the Eastern Conference the last several seasons, have struggled and are not in playoff position, even with a win. They are 4-0-12 on the road and have a -33 goal differential. New England is coming off a 4-0 loss at the Columbus Crew Saturday. It has dropped 3 straight and 5 of its last 7. The Revolution are led by F Giacomo Vrioni, who has 9 goals on the season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Inter Miami vs. New England Revolution picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, New England Revolution 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no value in taking a moneyline play here. Inter (-300) has a reason to come out on top, and the Revolution have little reason to put on a show here. Miami has dominated as of late and should get Messi on the pitch for at least some of the match.

At these odds, nothing is worth taking on the moneyline, as Miami is too expensive to play and New England isn’t worth the risk to get any result.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+100).

New England’s offense is not trustworthy enough to expect it to contribute to the scoring here. The Revolution have been held without a goal in 2 of their last 3 road games and scored just once in their last 3 away matches. The Revolution have scored 3 goals in their last 5 matches in total and had under 1.0 expected goals in 3 of their last 4.

Inter has a dynamic offense with stars littered throughout its lineup. However, it has scored more than 1 goal in just 1 of its last 4 matches and has gone under this total in 3 of its last 4. Considering those trends for both sides, back UNDER 3.5 (+100).

Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Toronto FC (11 wins, 4 draws, 18 losses) welcomes Inter Miami (20-8-4) to BMO Field for an Eastern Conference clash Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

Toronto FC has rebounded since having a streak of 6 straight losses earlier in the season. It has lost 3 of its last 4 as well, dropping its most recent game at home to the New York Red Bulls 4-1 Wednesday. Toronto is on the brink of playoff position at 9th in the conference. It has a -20 goal differential, the 2nd-worst in the conference. Offensively, it is led by F Federico Bernardeschi, who has netted 8 goals in 29 matches.

Inter Miami, on the other hand, locked up the Supporters’ Shield in its most recent 3-2 win against the Columbus Crew on the road Wednesday. Miami hasn’t lost since July 6, a discouraging 6-1 defeat to FC Cincinnati. Since, Inter has won 6 of 9 games and is 6-3-0 in those. It is led by F Lionel Messi, who has 17 goals and a team-high 11 assists. He is expected to play, as he made the trip, but with the Shield locked up, how much he’ll play is a much different question.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Toronto FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Toronto FC 2, Inter Miami 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+275).

Inter is the far better side here, but it doesn’t have a ton of reason to play at its full capacity. It has also played to the level of its competition as of late, drawing 3 of its last 4 games. It is 1-3-0 in those games, drawing NYCFC and Atlanta United on the road in that span.

Toronto has drawn 1 of its last 2 games. While it has yet to draw at home, it should be able to gain some confidence, as getting any result would be impactful for its playoff seeding. Considering those trends, back DRAW (+275).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+115).

Toronto FC has a lacking defense, and that should be exposed by Inter’s elite offense. Toronto has allowed at least 2.3 expected goals in 3 of its last 5 games. It has scored in 2 straight and is averaging 1.21 goals per game while allowing 1.82.

Inter has gone over this total in 4 of its last 6 games and also allowed at least 1.9 expected goals in 3 of its last 5. Miami is averaging 2.25 goals per game while allowing 1.47. The defensive weakness should be clear in this game, so expect a good chunk of opportunity for the offenses.

Back OVER 3.5 (+115).

Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Columbus Crew (16 wins, 9 draws, 5 losses) welcome Inter Miami (19-8-4)  to Lower.com Field for a high-profile Eastern Conference clash Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

The Crew, who sit 2nd in the East behind Inter Miami, drew D.C. United 2-2 on the road Saturday. The draw snapped a 2-match win streak for Columbus, which has won 4 of its last 7 matches, going 4-2-1. The Crew have been impressive at home, posting an 8-4-2 record. They have one of the most dynamic attacks in the MLS, averaging 2.0 goals per game. F Cucho leads the Crew with a team-high 16 goals.

Inter Miami, which leads Columbus by 8 points in the East, has a strong 9-4-2 road record. Inter has drawn 3 straight matches and is 9-4-1 overall since the start of June. The Herons are coming off a 1-1 home draw Saturday against Charlotte FC, a match in which Inter ended with 1.7 more expected goals.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Columbus Crew 2, Inter Miami 2

Moneyline (ML)

DRAW (+290) is the way to go.

The Crew have made Lower.com Field a fortress, but they still haven’t won at home as much as one would expect. Columbus actually has scored more points on the road this season. It has been outscored 7-4 in its last 2 home contests as well.

Similarly, Miami has played to the level of its competition, even with Messi back in the lineup. Inter has drawn 3 straight matches, 2 of which were on the road. Miami has 4 draws in 15 road games and are facing a top Eastern Conference side.

Expect a close battle and BET DRAW (+290).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+100).

If there’s one thing both sides know how to do, it is score. Inter has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 5 matches, ending with at least 1.8 expected goals in 3 of those as well. The Herons are coming off a game against Charlotte in which there were 2 goals, yet 4.3 expected goals.

The opportunities will be there for both Miami and Columbus. The Crew have tallied 10 goals in their last 3 matches and have allowed 5 over their last 2. They have gone Over this total in 2 straight and in 4 of their last 6. BACK OVER 3.5 (+100).

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Inter Miami (19 wins, 7 draws, 4 losses) welcomes Charlotte FC (11-8-11) to Chase Stadium for an Eastern Conference clash Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds, and make our best MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, Charlotte FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no great value on the moneyline.

Inter is the better side and has been dominated with Messi in the lineup. They have outscored opponents 10-3 in their last 4 home games and should continue that type of performance Saturday. Charlotte has lost 3 of its last 4 games and its last 2 on the road. It isn’t worth a play to get any points from this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+100).

Charlotte has a dynamic offense. It has scored at least one goals in 7 of its last 9 games and has netted at least 3 goals in 2 of those. It has allowed multiple goals in 3 of its last 6 games as well. The more concerning part is its defense, having allowed at least 1.2 expected goals in 10 straight games.

Miami is going to have the chance to take advantage of that weakness. Inter has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 games and in 5 of its last 8. It has tallied 10 goals in its last 4 home matches.

Expect its star-studded offense to keep rolling and back OVER 3.5 (+100).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

New York City FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, New York City FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+135).

Inter has been on a tear when F Lionel Messi takes the pitch, and he’s going to be active. After coming on as a sub Wednesday, he should be primed to start and get at least 70 minutes, heavily impacting the lethal Miami attack.

Inter is surging and has had recently road success while NYCFC has lost 2 of its last 3. It has been outscored 10-4 in its last 3 games. It is just 2-5-6 over its last 13. After a hot stretch in the early season, NYCFC hasn’t been impressive. Against a team like Inter, expect them to struggle.

Take INTER MIAMI (+135).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+100).

NYCFC has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 games, scoring at least 2 in 2 of those and allowing at least 2 in 3 of the 4. New York has allowed at least 1.6 expected goals in 3 of its last 4.

As for Inter, they have gone Over this total in 3 straight games, scoring 9 goals in those. Miami has gone Over it in 5 of its last 7 as well. Take OVER 3.5 (+100).

Atlanta United FC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Atlanta United FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+155).

Inter Miami has been the hottest team in the MLS over the last few months. Inter has won 5 straight games, only 1 of which was on the road. Miami has won 9 of its last 10 matches and is 4-0-1 in its last 5 on the road. Miami has outscored opponents 9-2 in its last 3 matches.

Messi brings a different aura around the team, which plays better with him healthy and on the pitch. On the other hand, United has lost 6 of 14 home matches and has gone 1-1-1 in its last 3 at home. United has been outscored 15-8 over its last 8 games. Atlanta is going to struggle against a surging Inter side.

BACK INTER MIAMI (+155).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-135).

Neither team has been great offensively as of late. Atlanta has scored 1 goal in its last 3 games and has had just 3.3 expected goals in that span. It has gone Under this total in 4 matches in a row and in 5 of its last 6.

Inter has gone Over this total in 2 straight but is 4-6 O/U this total in its last 10. Miami has had 1.1 or fewer expected goals in 2 of its last 3 matches and have held opponents to 1.4 or fewer in 4 of its last 5 matches.

Despite the price on the play, TAKE UNDER 3.5 (-135).

Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (18 wins, 5 draws, 4 losses) welcomes the Philadelphia Union (7-9-11) to Chase Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami will be welcoming F Lionel Messi back to the pitch as he’s been out since sustaining an injury with the Argentine national team. Inter sits atop the league and has the most points in the Eastern Conference. They have tallied 62 goals, the most in the MLS by 9. Miami has a +22 goal differential, having allowed 40 goals through 27 matches. Inter is led by F Luis Suarez, who has netted 16 goals this season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Philadelphia Union 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+375).

For starters, there’s no telling how much Messi is going to play. This will be his 1st action since June, so it seems unlikely Miami, which are destined for a deep playoff run, will take any risks. Inter has an older roster and may struggle as the season progresses. They had 0.9 fewer expected goals in their last home game, 2-0 win over FC Cincinnati.

Philadelphia has some of the most technical players in the league and needs to get a result to keep its club within playoff reach. The Union have won 3 of their last 4 games, so they’ve been putting it together. They had more expected goals than Inter in a home loss earlier in the season. Philadelphia has drawn 5 of 13 road games as well.

While this is only a partial-unit play, there is value in DRAW (+375).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+110).

Both teams have elite and efficient offensive players. The Union are averaging 1.74 goals per game and are allowing 1.59 per game. Star GK Andre Blake is unlikely to play as well after landing on the injury report.

The Union have scored 10 goals in their last 4 matches and have tallied at least 2 in 5 of their last 8. Inter has netted at least 2 in 4 straight and have gone Over this total in 3 of their last 5 games. They are averaging 2.30 goals per game.

Take OVER 3.5 (+110).

Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (16 wins, 5 draws, 4 losses) welcome FC Cincinnati (15-3-7) to Chase Stadium Saturday for a clash of top-tier Eastern Conference sides. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Having been knocked out in the Leagues Cup in the Round of 16, Inter Miami hasn’t been on the pitch since Aug. 13 and hasn’t played an MLS match since July 20. While momentum might not still be there, Miami has won 6 of its last 7 MLS matches and has won 3 straight at home. It is 8-3-2 this season at home. Inter is led by a combination of F Luis Suarez and F Lionel Messi, both of which have 12 goals on the season.

Inter sits atop the Eastern Conference with FC Cincinnati 2nd. FCC trails by 5 points. Cincinnati has lost 3 straight games, 2 of which were at home. Its last win was a 6-1 thrashing of Miami at home. FCC has been far better on the road than at home this season, having a 9-1-2 road record. In recent weeks, FCC has had numerous defender injuries and has a struggling backline. It is led by reigning MLS MVP Luciano Acosta, who has 11 goals and 15 assists in 24 matches.

Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (-105).

Inter Miami has been on a roll and should be at full strength entering this match. Miami has one of the most technically gifted sides in the entire league and should be able to tear about a thin FC Cincinnati backline.

Miami has scored 2 or more goals in 7 of its last 8 games while Cincinnati has tallied just 2 goals in its last 3. FCC has lost 5 of its last 10 games, which is shocking for a side that won the Supporters Shield last season.

Also, Miami took a 6-1 beatdown to FCC in early July. With Messi expected to be back, the home side should have fond memories of that match. Miami has been strong at home, and it should continue that trend.

Take INTER MIAMI (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+132).

Both these teams like to score, and neither likes to defend much. FCC has averaged 1.76 goals per game while allowing 1.32 per game. They have gone Over even this total in 4 of its last 5.

Miami is a similar story. It has gone Over even this total in 4 of its last 9, scoring at least 2 in all but 1 of those matches. Inter has allowed a goal in 10 straight matches as well. It is averaging 2.24 goals per game while allowing 1.56 per game.

Inter has a league-high 56 goals while allowing 39, the second most among any top 9 (those that make the playoffs or play-in game) Eastern Conference team. Expect a shootout Saturday and back OVER 3.5 (+132).

FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (14 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses) welcome FC Cincinnati (14-3-4) to Chase Stadium for a clash of Eastern Conference powerhouses Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami leads the Eastern Conference with 47 points, just ahead of FC Cincinnati (45 points), which has played 1 less match.

Inter Miami, which won at Charlotte FC 2-1 Wednesday, has been competing well while star F Lionel Messi is with Argentina at Copa America. Inter has won 4 straight games, each by a 2-1 score. Miami is 6-3-2 at home this season, yet are just 1-1-1 over its last 3 home games. Inter has had fewer expected goals than its opponent in 3 of its last 4. Inter Miami has won 11 of its last 14.

FC Cincinnati, which has been beat up on the backline with numerous injuries, took down D.C. United on the road Wednesday in a 3-2 thriller. M Pavel Bucha netted 2 of the 3 in the victory. FCC has been far better on the road than at home, having gone 9-1-1 in away matches. It is led by reigning MLS MVP Luciano Acosta, who has netted 9 goals and tallied 14 assists. FCC is 11-0-2 over its last 13.

  • Moneyline: FC Cincinnati -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Inter Miami +330 (bet $100 to win $330) | Draw +300
  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +128 | U: -156)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, FC Cincinnati 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+300).

Both teams are playing at a high level, and although Inter will be without a few of its key players, it has been winning with ease. Miami has drawn 3 of 11 games at home. While much can be made surrounding the type of opponents Miami has beaten while Messi is away, it does have a 2-1 home win over the Columbus Crew — the 3rd-place team in the East.

For FCC, it will continue to have a weakened backline that arguably should’ve given up more than it did in Wednesday’s win vs. D.C. Cincinnati is on fire, but at -140, there isn’t much value to back the visiting side to win outright. The best moneyline play is on a full-time DRAW (+300).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+128).

The total here is the best value and a great play. Inter has scored 2 or more goals in 5 straight and in 6 of its last 7 matches, while allowing a goal in all 7 of those contests as well. Miami has gone Over this total in all 7 matches and in every game since a 1-0 home win over D.C. United May 18. Inter is averaging 2.27 goals per game, while allowing 1.41.

Cincinnati, with its depleted defense, is averaging 1.71 per game while allowing 1.19 per game. FCC has gone Over this total in 6 of its last 8 games and have tallied at least 3 goals in 4 of its last 7. Given the styles of both teams, expect a plethora of goals and back OVER 3.5 (+128).

If you don’t want to lay 3.5 goals, there’s an option of laying a lot of juice in Over 2.5 (-194).
