Monterrey vs. Inter Miami CF odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Monterrey vs. Inter Miami CF odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Monterrey welcomes Inter Miami for the 2nd leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal Wednesday. Kickoff from Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe, Mexico is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Monterrey vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Monterrey won 2-1 in the first leg, which was played in Fort Lauderdale April 3. Inter ended with just 8 shots on 2 on frame which didn’t compare well to Monterrey’s 21 and 8. F Lionel Messi did not play with a hamstring injury. He returned to MLS action this past week and is expected to start Wednesday.

Monterrey lost 2-1 on the road to Cruz Azul Saturday, and it has lost 2 straight Liga MX matches.

Inter drew the Colorado Rapids 2-2 Saturday and has drawn 2 straight MLS matches. Inter sits 3rd in the Eastern Conference in the MLS, while Monterrey is 3rd in the Liga MX’s Clausura.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Monterrey vs. Inter Miami CF picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Monterrey 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+210).

It is hard to win on the road, but with the Monterrey coach calling one of the best players to ever play the sport a “possessed drawf,” there could be some extra motivation from Messi. Inter plays far better with Messi on the pitch, and that was even seen Saturday when he subbed on. Messi has tallied 4 goals in 4 MLS games, and Miami ended its game Saturday with 10 more shots.

While Monterrey has been among the better Liga MX sides, it has struggled recently. It did add F Brandon Vazquez from FC Cincinnati, but it doesn’t have a player with 10 or more goals, so its lack of star power could create issues against a team captained by Messi and F Luis Suarez.

Messi and Inter are going to come in with a chip on their shoulder, and given how they play with Messi, INTER MIAMI (+210) is worth a play.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-174).

The pace and the chances created make this a good value, but the odds aren’t quite justifiable for a full-unit play. Monterrey notched 21 shots while Inter totaled just 8.

Miami, as noted, should get a boost from the presence of Messi, and the offense should click early and often. Inter has 10 goals in the 4 MLS games Messi has played.

Monterrey has scored 2 or more goals in 4 of its last 7 games as well.

Both offenses have proven themselves, and they should continue to. Take OVER 2.5 (-174) for a small unit.

Inter Miami CF vs. Monterrey odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Inter Miami CF vs. Monterrey odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami and Monterrey battle in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal Wednesday. Kickoff from Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for the 1st leg is set for 8 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Monterrey odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Inter Miami, which is among the best teams in the MLS, has struggled without F Lionel Messi, who has missed games with a hamstring injury. Messi could play in this game as he has returned to training. Messi is the team’s most dynamic offensive player. That said, Inter drew NYCFC in MLS action 1-1 Saturday, and they beat Nashville SC 5-3 on aggregate in the Round of 16 with the 2nd leg being played on March 13.

Monterrey sits 2nd on the Liga MX table through 13 matches, having won 8, drawn 4 and lost 1. It has a +13 goal differential in those matches, scoring 23 and allowing 10. Monterrey beat the reigning Supporters Shield champions FC Cincinnati in the Round of 16, taking Cincinnati down 3-1 on aggregate and winning 1-0 on the road in the 1st leg. Monterrey’s F Brandon Vazquez, who played for Cincinnati in 2023, scored 2 goals in the 2 legs.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami CF vs. Monterrey picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Monterrey 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (-105).

Inter Miami is a far better team both at home and with Messi on the pitch. They throttled Nashville SC in the 2nd leg at home, winning 3-1 and being up 3-0 heading into the 90th minute. Messi has tallied 3 goals and 1 assist in 3 MLS games. Inter was 2-1-0 in those games, beating opponents a combined 8-1.

While Monterrey is a strong and proven side, it really didn’t showcase much on the road against FC Cincinnati, ending with 44% possession and 4 fewer shots. A team with Messi should be far more difficult to possession and break down.

Expect the home side to come out on top. At this value, back INTER MIAMI (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-154).

Monterrey took one of the MLS’s best scorers and put him on its team. It scored on Cincinnati in both matches. Cincinnati has one of the best defenses in the MLS while Inter has allowed 6 goals in its last 3 MLS matches.

However, in both its CONCACAF Champions Cup battles, Miami has tallied at least 2 goals and netted a total of 5 on Nashville through the 2 matches. It has scored 8 goals in the 3 MLS games Messi has played on top of those matches against Nashville.

The price is steep, making this just a lean, but with the above in mind, take OVER 2.5 (-154).

New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Red Bulls (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) welcome Inter Miami (3-1-1) to Red Bull Arena Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami got a much-needed midweek break, having played 4 games from March 7-16 with 2 matches in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Inter is led by F Lionel Messi, who joined the club last season and is one of the most renowned players in the sport’s history. Messi has 3 goals in 3 MLS matches. Inter is 1-1-0 on the road and is coming off a 3-1 road win over D.C. United last Saturday.

The Red Bulls lost to the Columbus Crew 3-0 Saturday, their 1st loss of the season. New York won its lone home game, beating FC Dallas 2-1. It has scored 4 goals in 4 matches, being held scoreless twice. The Red Bulls are led in scoring by 27-year-old Scottish F Lewis Morgan, who has 2 goals in 4 matches (2 starts). The Red Bulls finished 8th in the Eastern Conference a season ago.

New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, New York Red Bulls 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE INTER MIAMI (+195).

Inter has been throttled teams as of late and should have all their top players rested and set to play, including former Barcelona star F Luis Suarez, who has netted 4 goals. Inter has scored 10 goals in their last 3 games, having 0.5 more expected goals in 4 of 5 games this season.

The Red Bulls sit in the bottom half of the league in save percentage and in the top half in fouls. Inter is going to be too technical to not take advantage of those.

Given the Red Bulls are coming off a brutal 3-0 loss and Inter is rested and should be in top shape, back the road side to come out on top for a small unit. Take INTER MIAMI (+195).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-110).

Both teams foul frequently. Inter sits atop the league in fouls while New York ranks 10th. New York and Miami both gets shots on the frame often too with New York ranking 9th (20) and Miami second (31).

Inter has gone Over this total in 3 straight games, scoring at least 2 in all 3 and scoring at least 3 in 2 of the 3. The Red Bulls have gone Over in 3 straight games, scoring 4 goals in those 3 while allowing 5.

Expect numerous goals in this one and back OVER 2.5 (-122).

D.C. United vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s D.C. United vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

D.C. United (1 win, 2 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Inter Miami (2-1-1) to Audi Field Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the D.C. United vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

D.C. United has surprised many this season. United is 1-0 at home and tied its 2 games on the road. A manager can’t ask for much more than that. United is coming off a 0-0 draw at FC Cincinnati Sunday and had a 2-2 result against the Portland Timbers the Saturday prior. In its lone home game, United topped New England 3-1. F Christian Benteke, a former Belgium national star, has tallied a team-high 3 goals despite playing in just 1 game.

Inter Miami is coming off a Wednesday CONCACAF Champions Cup win, beating Nashville SC 3-1. Miami has played 4 games in the past 2 weeks. It drew its lone game on the road but had 2.6 fewer expected goals, a significant margin for a draw. It used more of its top players for the full 90 against Nashville in the 2nd leg of the Round of 16, so it may rest many of them for most of Saturday’s battle.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

D.C. United vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

D.C. United 2, Inter Miami 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET D.C. UNITED (+100).

United has been strong at home and has really impressed so far this season. It picked up a point on the road in Cincinnati, where only 4 teams in 17 games escaped with anything a season ago. At home, United won 3-1 vs. New England, a perennial powerhouse in the East, and had 3.7 more expected goals.

Inter has a strong roster, but it has an old roster with many former European greats. That likely won’t bode well for a Saturday match after a tiring battle in the Champions Cup. Miami as clobbered in its lone road game this season, so expect Miami to struggle away from home.

BACK D.C. UNITED (+100).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-166).

Miami just traded 1 of its better defenders in DeAndre Yedlin and has an aging backline. It allowed 3 goals in its last MLS battle, a home loss to CF Montreal, and it has allowed more than 2 expected in 2 of its last 3 games while having more than 2.5 in 2 straight. Miami plays an attack-heavy style but struggles in defense.

United has gone Over in 2 of its 3 games on the season and has had at least 2 expected goals in 2 of those. Expect a high-scoring game in this Eastern Conference clash. At this value, BET OVER 2.5 (-166) for a partial unit.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (2 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses) welcomes CF Montreal (1-1-0) to Chase Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. CF Montreal odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami has yet to lose or even draw at home, beating Real Salt Lake 2-0 to open the season and then beating Orlando City 5-0 at home on March 2. Miami is coming off a midweek 2-2 road draw with Nashville SC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. F Lionel Messi leads the team with 3 goals in 3 games.

CF Montreal was among the best teams in the MLS in 2022, but struggled last season. Its has started off with a solid 1-1-0 record in 2 road games. It has a 0-0 draw with Orlando City and a 2-1 road win over FC Dallas, ending with more expected goals than its opponent in both.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami vs. CF Montreal picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, CF Montreal 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Inter Miami is cheaper than expected at -155, but one has to realize that both F Luis Suarez and Messi are coming off a 90-minute battle with Nashville on Thursday. They may either not start or get limited minutes which should strongly handicap the home team’s attack.

Similarly, CF Montreal has played 2 road games and surprisingly had more expected goals in both. That said, Inter is the far better side, but there’s no value in backing them.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+132).

The best wager in this game is on the Under. Again, Messi and Suarez may not get many minutes in this match, especially considering Messi has logged 90 minutes in all 3 games to start the season. They will need to rest him eventually.

Other than Messi, the Inter offense is limited. Couple that with CF Montreal having yet to allow north of 1.0 expected goals, and Miami could struggle offensively. Montreal has had more than 1.0 expected goals in just 1 game while Inter has pitched 2 clean sheets in 3 MLS matches.

Through the 5 combined games, this total would be 2-3 O/U. Expect a low-scoring battle and take UNDER 2.5 (+132).

Nashville SC welcomes Inter Miami to Geodis Park in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16. Kickoff in the 1st leg is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Both teams have just started their regular season in the MLS with Inter Miami having added several stars this offseason. Inter has 2 wins and a draw it their 1st 3 games. F Lionel Messi, who is playing with former Barcelona teammates F Luis Suarez, M Sergio Busquets and D Jordi Alba, has scored 3 goals on the season.

Nashville took down Moca to start its CONCACAF Champions Cup run, defeating its opponent a combined 7-0 in the 2 legs. Nashville is 0-2-0 on the MLS season, having drawn the New York Red Bulls 0-0 and the Colorado Rapids 1-1. F Teal Bunbury is the only player to have scored for Nashville.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Nashville SC 1, Inter Miami 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Nashville SC still has a solid roster with D Walker Zimmerman on the backline. While it hasn’t necessarily dominated opponents early in the season, it did have 0.9 more expected goals than the Rapids in its last outing. Nashville finished last season 9-4-4 at home, so despite having struggled, it has had home success over the last 14 months.

While Inter is a strong MLS side, they had 2.6 fewer expected goals in their lone road game this season. While they have been dominant at home, that same success may not translate to a hostile environment.

Given that lack of road success, sprinkle on DRAW (+270).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+110).

Teams take this tournament seriously, so there should be an expectation that Zimmerman gets a full 90 minutes. His presence should bode well for the home side defensively. Nashville has allowed 1 goal through 2 games, and its opponents have a combined 2.0 expected goals.

For Inter, they have allowed fewer than 1 expected goal in 2 of 3 games and has allowed just 1 goal through 3 games. It may also have a strong defense. In the combined 5 MLS games these teams have played, 4 would have gone Under this total.

That said, back UNDER 2.5 (+110).

Inter Miami vs. Orlando City odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (1 win, 1 draw, 0 losses) welcomes Orlando City (0-1-0) to Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Orlando City odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami opened its season up with a 2-0 home win over Real Salt Lake Feb. 21. Inter then took to the road and drew the LA Galaxy 1-1, ending the match with 2.6 fewer expected goals. Three different players have scored for Miami this season, including F Lionel Messi and F Robert Taylor. Inter finished in 14th place last season but has improved mightily after the addition of Messi.

Orlando City drew its lone match of the season 0-0 in a home battle with CF Montreal Feb. 24. The game lacked many opportunities with both teams finishing with 1.0 expected goals or fewer. F Facundo Torres will be the most lethal attacker for the road side here. Orlando finished 2nd in the Eastern Conference a season ago.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami vs. Orlando City picks and predictions

Prediction

Orlando City 1, Inter Miami 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+300).

Orlando City has a solid roster with a few bright, young athletes. Seven players saw at least 89 minutes in its opener with 4 of them being under 24 years old. Orlando will bring the pace and should be able to outwork Inter, one of the older teams in the MLS.

While Inter Miami should have a strong home presence,  it was dominated in its last game and only had 0.6 more expected goals than Real Sale Lake in the home opener. Miami hasn’t been as impressive as expected, while Orlando City is returning a quality roster.

Considering the location and the value on a tie through 90 minutes, BACK DRAW (+300).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+118).

The best bet on this game is on the total. Neither team has gone north of 2.5 combined goals in a game yet. Also, neither side has had more than 1.5 expected goals. Inter has a combined 2.0 expected goals through 2 games, while Orlando City has 0.9 in its 1 game.

The offensive firepower is there for both sides, but there hasn’t been much in the way of results yet this season, so the opportunities may continue to be wasted away. With Inter being a slower, more technical team, expect a calmer pace of play as well.

TAKE UNDER 2.5 (+118).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (9 wins, 6 draws, 16 losses) welcomes FC Cincinnati (19-8-5) to DRV PNK Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati lost 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls at home Wednesday. It had 7 fewer shots and 3 fewer shots on goal. FCC closed as a -120 favorite. It did have 68% possession. FCC is led by MVP-hopeful M Luciano Acosta, who has 16 goals and 10 assists on the season. The club, which has already claimed the Supporters’ Shield, is 6-7-3 on the road.

Inter Miami is 6-4-5 at home this season, and it seems still unknown if star F Lionel Messi will play in this match. He did practice in full this week. Inter is coming off a 4-1 road loss to the Chicago Fire. They are 4-3-2 in MLS action since adding Messi, having won the Leagues Cup as well. Miami has yet to be eliminated from playoff potential, but the odds of it getting in are very slim.

Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, Inter Miami 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Miami has been competent at home, but it is virtually out of the playoffs and coming off a discouraging loss to a mid-tier Eastern Conference team. Although Cincinnati will likely not play its best XI, I would expect it to put a group on that can challenge Inter.

Inter has drawn 2 of its last 3 games and 2 of its 4 games since Messi’s arrival. FC Cincinnati has drawn 2 of its last 5 games this season and 7 of 16 on the road. For a small unit, back DRAW (+270).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+120).

FC Cincinnati has gone north of even this total in 2 of its last 5 games. It has scored 3 or more goals in 2 of its last 3 as well.

Their defense, which has been solid this season, has allowed 2 or more goals in 3 of its last 5. FCC has depth at forward, but it should be giving players like D Matt Miazga limited minutes with little to play for in this match.

Inter has gone Over this total in 4 of its last 6 games and could thrash an FCC defense if Messi takes the pitch. Expect goals in this one and take OVER 3.5 (+120).

Chicago Fire vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago Fire (9 wins, 10 draws, 12 losses) welcome Inter Miami (9-6-15) to town on Wednesday. Kick from Soldier Field is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Chicago Fire vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Chicago gained 3 points in the table last Saturday with a 1-0 road win against the New York Red Bulls. After a 62nd-minute red card for the Red Bulls, the Fire capitalized with a 64th-minute goal from F Georgios Koutsias. The victory snapped a 9-game winless streak for the Fire including a 7-games in MLS play.

Miami drew NYCFC 1-1 on Saturday behind a 95th-minute stoppage-time equalizer from F Tomás Avilés. It was Miami’s only shot on goal of the match out of 12 shot attempts. Miami has now drawn back-to-back games in MLS play.

Chicago (11th) and Miami (13th) are both on the outside looking in at the playoffs with the end of the season approaching.

Chicago Fire vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Chicago Fire 2, Inter Miami 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET CHICAGO (+100).

Inter Miami is still playing without its golden boy F Lionel Messi, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, and is the bottom-of-the-table team we have seen all year without him. Miami was also recently eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup this past week which has exhausted a lot of extra energy for the club. Expect the Fire to come out with energy after coming off a major road win while trying to make a push to get into the playoffs.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-165).

There is not a lot of profit to be made on the Over, but 3 of the last 4 matchups between these clubs have hit at least 4 total goals. The last meeting between these clubs was in March of this year when Chicago took down Miami 3-2 on the road.

Over 2.5 goals hit twice in Chicago’s last 3 games and twice in Miami’s last 4 MLS games.

Inter Miami vs. New York City FC odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (9 wins, 5 draws, 15 losses) welcomes New York City FC (8-13-10) to DRV PNK Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. New York City FC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami lost the U.S. Open Cup Final 2-1 at home Wednesday. F Lionel Messi missed that match and seems unlikely to play Saturday after a heavy workload during the Leagues Cup, which Inter won. Miami has looked far better since Messi joined the roster and is 2-1-0 at home in MLS action during that span. It is led in scoring by F Leonardo Campana, who has 9 goals in 23 matches (14 starts).

New York City sits 9th in the Eastern Conference and is on the brink of the playoffs with 3 games remaining. New York is 3-2-0 over its last 5 games, all home matches. It is 1-7-7 on the road this season. NYCFC’s weakness has been in the attack, averaging just 1.06 goals per game. F Gabriel Pereira leads the team with 6 goals in 22 matches.

  • Moneyline: Inter Miami +100 (bet $100 to win $100) | New York City FC +230 (bet $100 to win $230) | Draw +260 (bet $100 to win $260)
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -150 | U: +105)

Inter Miami vs. New York City FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, New York City FC 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).

Although Messi may not be available, there’s no reason to believe Inter cannot get a positive result. It played Houston, which sits 4th on the Western Conference table, Wednesday and lost 2-1. Miami has performed well at home since the addition of Messi, which also brought the likes of D Jordi Alba and M Sergio Busquets.

NYCFC has drawn 7 of 15 road matches, and at this value, +260 presents enough value to put some of a unit on, given both teams recently trends in this position. Back DRAW (+260).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-150).

NYCFC has scored in 4 of its last 5 games and has scored at least 2 goals in 3 of those 5. Better yet, it has had at least 1.5 expected goals in 4 of those 5 which suggests it is starting to figure it out offensively.

Inter is allowing 1.55 goals per game in MLS action which should aid NYCFC’s scoring. Miami averages 1.28 goals per game and has elite goalscorer like F Josef Martinez. Miami has gone Over this total in 4 of its last 5 games.

While the juice is there, still take OVER 2.5 (-150).
