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).

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).
