Leagues Cup: Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

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

In the Leagues Cup semifinal, the Philadelphia Union welcome F Lionel Messi and Inter Miami to Subaru Park Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Inter Miami has been the talk of the MLS since inking Messi, who some consider the best soccer player of all time. Messi has scored 5 goals in Miami’s 3 knockout stage games and was impressive in the group stage as well. Inter beat Orlando City 3-1 in the Round of 32, FC Dallas 4-4 (5-3 penalty kicks) in the Round of 16 and then Charlotte 4-0 in the quarterfinals. This will be its toughest test yet, and its 2nd knockout stage road match.

Philadelphia beat Club Tijuana 3-1 on July 22 and then Queretaro 5-1 in the group stage. It then took down DC United 0-0 (5-4), the NY Red Bulls 1-1 (4-3) and then Queretaro again 2-1 in the quarterfinals. The Union have been very impressive at home this season with only 1 loss, going 8-1-2. F Julian Carranza has scored 10 goals in 21 matches for Philadelphia, which won 7 of its last 11 matches prior to the Leagues Cup break.

The winner meets either Nashville or Monterrey in the final on Saturday.

Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Philadephia Union 1, Inter Miami 1 (Inter advances on penalty kicks)

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+270).

Philadelphia had the best defense in the MLS last season, and it has had a top-notch final 3rd throughout the 2023 year. It has allowed 26 goals in 23 matches and has allowed just 2 goals throughout the 3 knockout stage battles. The Union strength is its backline, and I expect to hold up against Messi.

Similarly, Messi and company have one draw in the knockout stage already. The teams combined have drawn 3 of 6 knockout stage games. Miami has more attacking talent, but it isn’t necessarily better at all stages of the game.

Expect a close-fought battle and back the full-time DRAW (+270).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET ALTERNATE UNDER 2.5 (+138).

This total is lofty because Miami beat Atlanta 4-0, Orlando City 3-1, Dallas 4-4 (5-3) and Charlotte 4-0. It has netted goals lately. But, it hasn’t gone on the road and faced one of the best defenses in the league. The Union have allowed just 7 goals in 11 home matches. It has also allowed just 6 shots on frame in its 3 knockout stage games.

Miami’s defense is lacking and has holes, but Philadelphia hasn’t quite been dominant offensively. It has just 3 goals through the 3 knockout stage games, so don’t expect to expose Miami too much.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 2.5 (+138).

Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds, picks and predictions

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

Inter Miami hosts Charlotte FC at DRV PNK Stadium Friday in the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami may be last in the Eastern Conference, but since adding superstar F Lionel Messi, it has made an eye-popping run in the Leagues Cup. Miami won both group-stage matches, scoring 6 goals and allowing 1.

It took down Orlando City 3-1 in the Round of 32 and followed that up with a 4-4 (3-5) win over FC Dallas in penalty kicks in the Round 16. It was down 4-2 entering the last 15 minutes of the game and rallied for the victory.

Charlotte won and drew in the group stage, a trio featuring FC Dallas and Necaxa, scoring 6 goals and allowing 3. It then went on to topple Cruz Azul 0-0 (4-3) in the Round of 32 and beat the Houston Dynamo 2-1 in the Round of 16. Charlotte has struggled this season and sits 12th in the East with 30 goals scored and 40 goals allowed through 23 games.

Inter Miami vs. Charlotte FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, Charlotte FC 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Inter Miami is the rightful favorite, and the way the odds are trending suggests it is getting heavy action. Miami opened at -190 on the moneyline but has jumped to -225. However, it is unplayable here as it is coming off a full-time draw against a team Charlotte FC also drew in the group stage.

If anything, the +360 draw is worth a look considering how porous the Miami defense has been, but for me it’s a PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+115).

The reason both Miami and Charlotte are outside of playoff contention in the East is their awful defense. Miami has allowed 36 goals in 22 matches, and Charlotte has allowed 40 goals in 23 matches.

Neither had done much to improve that piece of the puzzle. Inter’s last two Leagues Cup matches have had a combined 12 goals. Charlotte went Over this total in 2 of 4 League Cup matches as well.

Messi’s arrival has sparked an offensive explosion that Charlotte likely won’t be able to contain. Similarly, Charlotte has tallied 8 goals in 4 Leagues Cup matches, so it should be able to get on the board as well.

Take OVER 3.5 (+115).

Inter Miami vs. Atlanta United FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Inter Miami vs. Atlanta United FC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

F Lionel Messi and Inter Miami welcome Atlanta United FC to DRV PNK Stadium for a Leagues Cup battle Tuesday. The Group J match is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Atlanta United FC odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Inter Miami has become a hot topic of conversation lately, signing several former Barcelona stars, including Messi and MF Sergio Busquets. They debuted in Miami’s opening Leagues Cup match vs. Cruz Azul Friday. In a storybook ending, Messi scored a free kick in the 94th minute to earn Miami a 2-1 victory and all 3 points. However, in MLS play, Inter Miami is last in the Eastern Conference with a 5-3-14 (W-D-L) record.

Atlanta United will be making its League Cup debut — each group consists of 3 teams. Atlanta has lost 2 straight games, both 2-1 losses, one to the New England Revolution and the other to Orlando City. United is led by Greek F Giorgos Giakoumakis, who has 10 goals in 17 MLS matches this season. Atlanta (9-8-7 MLS play) is 7th in the East, but has won just 3 of its last 11 games.

Inter Miami vs. Atlanta United FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, Atlanta United 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (+110).

Busquets and Messi both were subbed in the 54th minute of Friday’s match. They are in good condition and should see more time as Inter continues with its season. Their involvement should boast well for Miami, and at plus-money odds, the new-look Miami roster is worth backing.

Atlanta hasn’t fared well on the road this season either, posting just a 2-5-5 record. It has had issues defensively, allowing 1.63 goals per game. It has given up 2 goals per game over its last 3 road matches.

Messi and company should be able to break through a soft defense with ease. Having made huge signings despite being out of the East playoff picture this season already, expect Miami to go all in for the high-profile tournaments it is still in.

TAKE INTER MIAMI (+110).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-160).

Atlanta and Miami are both not good defensively.

Miami gave up 8 shots on target to Cruz Azul and should have conceded more than once. It had 6 shots on target (12 overall), and Messi easily could have had multiple goals in his debut.

The reason Miami has lost 14 games this season is its defense, and it hasn’t improved that much, potentially even hurting it with its additions. Inter has allowed 1.64 goals per game.

Given Miami enhanced a lacking attack and Atlanta has a strong offense and porous defense, expect goals often. Despite the juice, TAKE OVER 2.5 (-160).

Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

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

The Columbus Crew (8 wins, 6 losses, 12 draws) welcome Inter Miami (10-11-6) to Lower.com Field Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Columbus Crew vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Crew are coming into this matchup after they somehow salvaged a 2-2 draw in Cincinnati. Their 1st goal was controversially not ruled offside while their 2nd goal came late after the 90th minute.

Nonetheless, they escaped with a point. The Crew have drawn 3 straight and 4 of their last 6. They’re led by star MLucas Zelarayán, who has 8 goals and a team-high 5 assists on the season.

Inter Miami and the Crew have both gotten to 36 points in drastically different routes as Miami wins or loses games while the Crew have a bunch of draws.

Inter is led by 34-year-old Argentinian star F Gonzalo Higuaín with 9 goals this season. They have won 3 of their last 5 and are 3-1-1 in that span.

Check out Pro Soccer Wire: For the American soccer fan, USA TODAY Sports Media Group’s website provides a fresh look at the beautiful game.

Prediction

Columbus Crew 2, Inter Miami 2

Money line (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+310).

The Crew have been a drawing machine all season, and after being dominated against FCC despite coming away with a draw, I wouldn’t put much on their juiced money line at -145.

The draw, considering they have 12 on the season, has good value. Also, Miami is playing well as of late, so it is finally starting to put things together with the expensive talent they’ve added.

Inter has finished with .5 expected goals of their opponent in 3 straight matches. While their games haven’t finished in a draw, they’ve certainly been close-fought battles.

Prior to the Crew’s game against FCC, they had 5 games within an expected goal of their opponent. Both teams should be at the other’s level. Considering that, I like the DRAW(+310).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-150).

Earlier in the season, the Crew were a slow-paced side. Since adding 23-year-old F Cucho, Columbus has drastically increased its scoring. It has scored 16 goals in its last 9 games, only going scoreless once.

Inter is a score-heavy side as well, totaling 13 goals in their last 6. Columbus has given up 9 in its last 5 matches while Miami has allowed 8 in their last 4.

Putting it all together, we should see an energetic match Wednesday and I expect a plethora of goals. This, despite the juice, is the best value in the match.

Orlando City SC at Inter Miami odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Orlando City SC at Inter Miami odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In Friday’s only MLS game of the day, Orlando City SC (5 wins, 1 loss, 3 draws) travel further south to take on Inter Miami CF (2-5-2) at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Orlando City SC vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

After starting the season 2-2-2 through 6 games, Inter Miami has drastically cooled off while losing its last three games. Miami hasn’t scored a goal in over five weeks.

They’ll be met by an Orlando City team that has not had any scoring issues. OCSC put up 5 goals in its last game against San Jose and scored 3 in the game before.

Prediction

Orlando City 2, Inter Miami CF 0

Money line (ML)

BET on ORLANDO CITY SC (+115) because it’s hot and clearly the better team.

Soccer is oftentimes determined by who converts chances. Orlando City has done that and is tied for the fourth-most goals in MLS. Orlando has also given up the fewest goals of any team in the Eastern Conference.

With former Portuguese star MF Nani leading the way, Orlando has proven to be one of the best in MLS. Inter Miami, meanwhile, is playing in just its second MLS season.

Obviously still adjusting, Miami has struggled to get anything going lately. With no real scoring threat and just 8 goals through nine games, expect Orlando City to easily take this one.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (-105) goals as Inter Miami is having a tough time scoring. Despite Orlando City SC being a scoring machine lately, it has scored 16 goals through 9 games on the season.

Orlando City should cool off. On top of that, it scored from the penalty spot and had just 8 shots on target in its last outing. For Inter Miami, only two Eastern Conference teams have fewer goals on the season.

It’s a gamble to take the total against a team that has averaged 4 goals per game over its last two outings, but it’s the right play. The Orlando City money line is the best value in this match, though.
