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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New England Revolution (1-1-6) welcome Inter Miami CF (5-3-2) Saturday. Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Revolution vs. Inter Miami CF odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

New England has lost its last 3 games, including its last 2 MLS games. The most recent setback was a 1-0 setback at Toronto April 20. The Revolution controlled the ball with 60.9% possession and had 5 shots on goal, but a 66th-minute goal was all it took for Toronto to win.

Miami has won back-to-back games, most recently taking down Nashville 3-1 April 20. F Lionel Messi, who is set to make his return to Gillette for the first time since 2016, scored 2 of Miami’s goals and assisted on the 3rd. Miami had 7 shots on goal in the win.

Revolution vs. Inter Miami CF picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami CF 2, Revolution 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI CF (+120).

New England has struggled this season with only 1 win in 8 matches, while Miami is 2-1-1 on the road. New England has not scored more than 1 goal in any of its 8 games, while Miami has scored 2 or more in each of its last 3 and as many as 5 in a game in early March.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS.

Due to the Revolution’s inability to find the back of the net and Miami being without F Luis Suarez, do not expect a lot of offensive action in this game. There is minimal value on the Under at -185.

Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (4 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses) welcomes Nashville SC (1-4-2) to Chase Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

With F Lionel Messi set to play, Inter should be in a strong form Saturday; however, they will be without D Jordi Alba. Miami is coming off a 3-2 road win over Sporting KC Saturday and has drawn 2 straight home games. It is 2-2-1 at home this season. Inter has tallied 19 goals on the year while allowing 14. They sit 3rd in the Eastern Conference in points per game.

Nashville SC has won just 1 game this season, a 2-1 home victory over Charlotte. They are coming off a 2-1 home loss the Philadelphia Union. Nashville has lost 2 of its last 3 games and is 0-1-1 on the road. F Hany Mukhtar is its most lethal player, having netted 1 goal this season and 15 last season.

Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, Nashville SC 2

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

The draw has some value here, but considering Inter has won 3 of 4 games in which Messi has been the captain and is 2-0-0 at home in those games, there isn’t much reason to think Nashville will keep pace.

Nashville has drawn 4 of 7 games this season. At +350, the draw is the only playable side, but it still isn’t the best value on the table in this game.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+132).

Nashville’s defense has been a mess this season, allowing at least 2 goals in 3 straight games. They have allowed 9 goals in their last 3 games and have given up more than 1.0 expected goals in all but 1 game to far less competent attacks. Nashville has also scored at least 2 goals in 3 of its last 5.

Inter has gone Over this total in 2 straight games and in 6 of their last 7. They have tallied 5 goals in their last 2 games and have allowed 9 goals in their last 4. Considering those trends from both sides, back OVER 3.5 (+132).

Inter Miami CF vs. Colorado Rapids odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami CF vs. Colorado Rapids odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses) welcomes the Colorado Rapids (2-2-2) to Chase Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami CF vs. Colorado Rapids odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami is coming off a 2-1 home loss to Monterrey Wednesday in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal 1st leg. Miami played a hectic 7 games in March, starting off the season 2-1-0. It has gone 1-1-2 in MLS action since, drawing NYCFC 1-1 at home Saturday. It has had more expected goals than its opponent in all but 2 games. F Lionel Messi, who has 3 goals on the season but has just 3 appearances due to a hamstring injury, is back in the matchday roster for the home side.

The Rapids are 1-1-1 both at home and on the road. They have tallied 8 goals in the 6 games, allowing 10. Colorado is coming off a 3-2 home win over LAFC last Saturday. It has scored at least 1 goal in all but 1 game and has allowed at least 1 in every game this season. The Rapids are led in scoring by F Djordje Mihailovic, who has tallied 2 goals in 6 matches. Colorado sits 7th in the Western Conference and is trying to build off a last-place finish last season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami CF vs. Colorado Rapids picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami CF 2, Colorado Rapids 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET INTER MIAMI (-120).

Messi being on the matchday roster should aid both the team’s chemistry and on-field product. Not to mention, it means it is likely that he will take the pitch for the 1st time in several weeks. Inter had won both home games with Messi in action, beating Real Salt Lake 2-0 Feb. 21 and Orlando City 5-0 March 2. Inter is a different team with him in the lineup and should return to that success.

For Colorado, its defense has been too unpredictable, allowing at least 1 expected goal and 1 goal in every game. It likely won’t be able to hold up against the onslaught of talent Miami has.

Take INTER MIAMI (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-160).

The Rapids have gone Over in 3 of 6 games this season. Recently, they had more opportunities, having 1.6 or more expected goals in 3 of their last 4 games. They have tallied 6 goals in their last 4 games.

Miami has had at least 2.2 expected goals in 4 of its last 5, so it should be able to continue to produce offensively. It has allowed 9 goals in its last 4 games. The Inter style of play is an offensive-minded one which should allow for numerous goals.

At this value, take OVER 2.5 (-160).

Cruz Azul vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Cruz Azul vs. Inter Miami debut odds and lines in Lionel Messi’s debut, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

The Lionel Messi North American era begins Friday when the forward’s new team Inter Miami CF faces Cruz Azul in Leauges Cup action at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The match begins at 8 p.m. ET (MLS Season Pass on Apple TV/Univision and FUBO TV). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Cruz Azul vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Cruz Azul of the Mexican Liga BBVA MX will be glad to get a respite from the Torneo Apertura. It’s off to an 0-3 start to open the new Liga MX season, and it has been outscored 6-1, ranking last in the league in goal differential.

Inter Miami is almost in the same boat, sitting 2nd to last in the MLS’ Eastern Conference with a 5-14-3 (W-L-D) record. Miami is also 2nd to last in goal differential at -14.

Keeping his promise to make Inter Miami relevant — and bring “the greatest players in the world to [Miami]” — team president and co-owner David Beckham helped the club sign Messi to a 2½-year contract that will pay the recent World Cup winner from Argentina between $50 million and $60 million annually.

While Messi likely won’t start Friday, he is expected to play. The same goes for MF Sergio Busquets, the Spanish star who also signed a 2½-year contract with Inter Miami last week after playing 15 seasons for Barcelona.

Messi and Busquets, who were Barcelona teammates for 13 seasons, have already practiced with their new Miami teammates, and while Friday won’t be their MLS debut, it will be their first action on the pitch for Inter Miami.

Cruz Azul vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Cruz Azul 1

Moneyline (ML)

BACK INTER MIAMI (+105). The atmosphere will be electric in Fort Lauderdale as Messi makes his long-awaited North American debut. It will be just the shot in the arm that this club needs.

Another good bet to make is YES (-144): BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE as neither side is particularly strong on the defensive end. Miami has conceded 36 goals in 22 MLS matches, while Cruz Azul has coughed up 6 goals in 3 Liga MX matches.

World class soccer coverage all in one place: Get ESPN+

Over/Under (O/U)

Side with OVER 2.5 (-118), although it should be played very lightly.

Cruz Azul is the concern as it has found the back of the net just once in its 3 league matches.

Inter Miami can score, notching 22 goals in 22 matches. Adding Messi, the 7-time Ballon d’Or winner — the trophy awarded annually to the world’s best player — will certainly help pump up the offense even more. Meanwhile, Miami has had problems on defense, and that’s always a nice combination for the Over.

FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami CF odds, picks and predictions

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

FC Cincinnati (3 wins, 0 losses, 2 draws) welcome Inter Miami CF (2-3-0) Saturday. Kickoff from TQL Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami CF odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati ranks 2nd in the Eastern Conference with 11 points after defeating Nashville FC 1-0 on the road last Saturday thanks to a 48th-minute goal by F Brandon Vazquez. While Nashville controlled possession 61% to FCC’s 39%, FCC dominated the attack with 7 shots on goal as opposed to Nashville’s 3.

Inter Miami CF has dropped 3 games in a row since starting the season with back-to-back wins, including a 3-2 heartbreaking loss against Chicago FC last week. Chicago scored the winner in the 92nd-minute winner after Miami had rallied from 2-0 down in the 38th minute to square things up by the 76-minute mark. Miami led possession with 67.1% and had 7 shots on target to Chicago’s 5 but was never able to secure an advantage.

FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami CF picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, Inter Miami CF 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There is not much value on a Cincinnati (-180) moneyline play.

Miami has not found any success on the road this season with a 0-2 road record and they are also on a 3-game skid. Meanwhile, FCC is undefeated at home with a 2-0 home record and has yet to lose a match this season making these odds justifiable, just a little steep.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+100).

FCC has only topped 3 goals in 2 games this season while Miami has topped 3 goals in just 1 of its 5 games. Cincinnati GK Roman Celentano is tied for 1st place in the MLS with 3 clean sheets and will surely wreak havoc on a Miami team that has yet to score in a road match.

Cincinnati ranks 3rd in the MLS in 2nd half scoring defense allowing just .2 goals per game in the back 45. Its defense has been scored on 1st just a single time this season which puts it at 4th in the league.

Expect Cincinnati to jump out to an early lead and look to control possession from there allowing UNDER 2.5 (+100) to hit.

Inter Miami CF vs. Columbus Crew odds, picks and predictions

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

Inter Miami CF (10 wins, 13 losses, 6 draws) welcomes the Columbus Crew (9-6-14) to DRV PNK Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Inter Miami CF vs. Columbus Crew odds, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Sitting in 7th in the Eastern Conference, the Crew needs to find a way to secure 3 points on the road. They’re 3 points ahead and a game behind the 8th-seeded New England Revolution.

Inter Miami has the same amount of games played as Columbus, but is 5 points behind in the standings. The Crew are led by M Lucas Zelarayán, who has 9 goals in 21 starts this season.

Miami has been led by 34-year-old F Gonzalo Higuaín with 10 goals in 23 appearances. Including a 1-0 loss in Columbus, Miami has lost 3 straight matches.

Inter has been far better at home though as they post an 8-3-3 record at DRV PNK Stadium.

They’re 3-0-1 in their last 4 home matches. Inter has 5 matches left, 3 of them at home, so there is a slim chance they got hot and are able to make the playoffs.

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Columbus Crew 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN INTER MIAMI CF (+135).

Miami has been a different animal at home. Also, Miami is about 2 weeks removed from losing in Columbus to the Crew, and there’s no denying that they’ll have that in the back of their minds.

Miami has not lost to an Eastern Conference team in both matches this season. Even against Philadelphia and NYCFC, it either drew or won the game they didn’t lose.

The Crew have lost just once since May 21. They are a solid side, but this trend is going to be snapped eventually. Against a hungry Miami team that plays well at a home, I’d bet Miami is able to come out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-115).

Miami has hit this total in their last 7 home games and has only missed it in 3 of 14 home matches this season. Miami is a strong attacking side with an experienced and skilled striker leading the way.

Similarly, Columbus newcomer F Cucho has 8 goals in 10 starts. He’s been a huge help to an offense that struggled early in the season.

Miami is tied for the 4th-most goals allowed in the East as well, so it is a side that has a weak defense which should help the Crew. Columbus also ranks in the top half of the league in passing percentage and shots.

It should be able to make its way through Miami’s porous defense.

Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

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

Inter Miami (7 wins, 10 losses, 4 draws) hosts FC Cincinnati (7-8-7) at DRV PNK Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati will hit the road after a 1-1 draw with Nashville SC last Saturday. After a franchise-best 4-game win streak earlier in the season, Cincinnati has gone 1-3-6 over its last 10 contests and has drawn in 5 of its last 6.

FCC is led by F Brandon Vazquez who is one of the league’s top goal scorers with 11. All-Star M Luciano Acosta, who doubles as the team’s captain, should be back in action Saturday following a suspension.

Inter Miami is currently 11th in the Eastern Conference. Miami started the season on a sour note as it lost 4 of its first 5 matches. While it has improved as the season has progressed it’s still lost 3 of its last 4 outings. However, Inter has won 6 of its last 8 at home.

F Leonardo Campana leads the team in scoring with 8 goals followed by 34-year-old Argentine F Gonzalo Higuaín who has 4. Inter lost 3-1 at FCC March 19.

[tipico]

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

Inter Miami 2, FC Cincinnati 2

Money line (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+265).

FCC has been drawing an insane amount of matches as of late, tying 5 of their last 6.

They play a quick game in which it is easy for them to both score and get counter-attacked. They have been within an expected goal of their opponent in 8 straight games.

While Miami has struggled this season, it has lost just 3 at home and just one at home since April 2. It has been within an expected goal of its opponent in all but 1 home match.

FCC should be able to keep pace and break down the Miami backline with Acosta back in action. Considering how close each side has played its opponent, I’ll take the DRAW (+265) here.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN ALTERNATE OVER 3.5 (+165).

FCC pushes the pace, and Miami has shown it has one of the worst defenses in MLS. Inter ranks in the bottom half in shots against and goals against. FCC does as well though.

Both teams have incapable defenses. FCC has gone over this mark in 3 of their last 6 contests and Inter has hit this in 4 home matches this season, including its most recent home match, a 3-2 win over Charlotte FC.

The weakness of this bet is Inter’s offense, but they have scored 2 goals or more in 7 of their last 8 home matches. They should be able to get on the board, as should FC Cincinnati.

Philadelphia Union at Inter Miami CF odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s Philadelphia Union at Inter Miami CF odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Philadelphia Union (6 wins, 4 losses, 5 draws) travel south to take on Inter Miami CF (2-8-2) Sunday at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Philadelphia Union vs. Inter Miami CF odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Union come in struggling of late with a 1-2-2 record over their last five games. However, it’s excused as Philadelphia sent many players to represent their respective nations in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Philadelphia is down GK Andre Blake, F Cory Burke and D Alvas Powell, all of which have played an impactful role this season. Inter Miami CF sent just D Kelvin Leerdam.

Over the last five games, Miami has allowed 12 goals and scored just 1. It’s been a brutal stretch for the Eastern Conference’s last-place team.

Prediction

Philadelphia Union 1, Inter Miami CF 0

Money line (ML)

BET on the UNION (+130) as the couple of pieces they’re down shouldn’t impact them too much. Blake is the most important loss as he’s their starting goalie.

GK Joe Bendik has served as a decent backup. This match will be more about Inter Miami’s inability to defend. It has given up 22 goals through 12 matches and Miami has also lost five of six home games and doesn’t take advantage of the home crowd.

Despite being down a couple players, I’d still back Philadelphia.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (-125) as the best value on the total.

The Union will be without their second-leading scorer in Burke. They aren’t a score-heavy side as they have just 19 goals through 15 matches.

Philadelphia’s strength comes in its defending which should get a nice break as the only player on the opposing side to really worry about is F Gonzalo Higuaín. He’s the only Inter Miami player with more than 1 goal on the season.

That said, the Under hit in three of the last six games for both sides. It’s the better play but just for half a unit.

Los Angeles Galaxy at Inter Miami CF: Picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami CF 3, L.A. Galaxy 1

Money line (ML)

INTER MIAMI CF (-155) is a great bet against the overmatched visitors. Miami did a great job in the offseason bolstering its roster. MF George Acosta, F Edison Azcona, G Drake Callender, G Dylan Castanheira, MF  Gregore de Magalhaes da Silva, D Joevin Jones, D Kelvin Leerdam, F Josh Penn, D Patrick Seagrist, D Ryan Shawcross and MF Felipe Valencia might all be able to make their Miami debuts for a retooled and star-studded roster, joining the likes of MF Lewis Morgan, F Gonzalo Higuain, D Nicolas Figal, MF Rodolfo Pizarro and MF Victor Ulloa.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-160) will cost you a little extra lettuce, but it will be worth the money. Inter Miami CF has the potential to take care of the Over on its own.

Playing the alternate line of OVER 3.5 (+150) is also worth a small-unit play. A YES (-145): BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE wager is also a worthwhile play.
