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.

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.

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.

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).

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).

Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Charlotte FC (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses) welcomes FC Cincinnati (3-2-0) to Bank of America Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC is coming off a 2-0 home win last Saturday over the 2023 MLS Cup Champions, the Columbus Crew. Charlotte has won both of its home games this season, ending with 0.8 or more expected goals in each. It has tallied 7 points on the season mainly due to its strong defense, allowing just 4 goals in 5 games. It has yet to concede at home as well. Charlotte’s main weapon offensively is F Brecht Dejaegere, the only player on the season with both a goal and assist.

FC Cincinnati, which is coming off a Supporters Shield in 2023, has picked up where it left off. Cincinnati has won both of its games on the road, beating Chicago 2-1 and New England 2-1 despite having fewer expected goals in both games. FCC has had 3 clean sheet performances and tallied 5 goals across its 5 games. It is led by reigning MLS MVP, M Luciano Acosta, who has 2 goals and 2 assists on the season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

Charlotte FC 1, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+220).

Something is going to have to change for 1 of these clubs Saturday evening. Charlotte FC and FC Cincinnati are both undefeated in this situation — Charlotte at home and FC Cincinnati on the road. In both road games, FCC has been within 0.2 expected goals of its opponent, so it has consistently played to the level of its competition.

Charlotte doesn’t have a breakthrough star yet like Cincinnati and has struggled consistently generating offense. However, it is at home and has been undefeated there. Considering the trends for both teams, the DRAW (+220) has the most value here.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-122).

If there’s 1 thing both teams can do at a high level, it is defend, which is why the Under has good value here.

FCC looked to bolster its defense this offseason, adding D Miles Robinson. In doing so, it has allowed just 2 goals on the season and more than 1.0 expected goals just once.

Charlotte has gone under this total in 4 of its last 5 games. It has scored multiple goals just once, so it hasn’t often finished its opportunities. Charlotte has yet to allow more than 1.1 expected goals in a game.

Considering those season-long trends for the clubs, take UNDER 2.5 (-122).

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Charlotte FC (1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses) welcome the Columbus Crew (3-1-0) to Bank of America Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

The Crew are coming off a throttling of the New York Red Bulls last Saturday, defeating their Eastern Conference foe 3-0 at home. Columbus has tallied 7 goals while allowing 2 throughout its 4 games. It has had more expected goals than its opponent in 3 of 4 games as well. The Crew, who won the MLS Cup a season ago, are led in scoring by F Cucho, who has 3 goals in 4 matches.

Charlotte lost to Nashville SC 2-1 on the road Saturday, dropping its 2nd game in a row. The Saturday prior, Charlotte FC lost 1-0 to Toronto FC. Charlotte has had as many or more expected goals in all 4 games yet still has a -1 goal differential, so it clearly has a problem finishing in front of the net. Charlotte won its lone home game, a 1-0 victory over NYCFC.

Charlotte FC vs. Columbus Crew picks and predictions

Prediction

Charlotte FC 1, Columbus Crew 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+230).

Columbus has been, as expected, dominant at home. It hasn’t, however, been that great on the road. It has played 1 road game and drew Minnesota United 1-1 March 2.

Charlotte FC might be the inferior team on paper, but they have won their lone home game and have had at least 0.4 more expected goals than their opponent in 3 of 4 games.

Charlotte plays to the level of its competition, while Columbus might take a step back when hitting the road. That said, take DRAW (+230).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-114).

Charlotte FC have gone Under in 3 of 4 games and have held their opponent to 1.1 expected goals or fewer in every game this season. Charlotte has yet to score more than 1 goal in a game and has tallied 3 goals in 4 games.

The Crew have gone Over in 2 of 4 games this season, but their defense has been strong, much like Charlotte’s. Columbus has allowed 2 goals in 4 games and should continue to limit opponents.

Considering the trends for both sides, back UNDER 2.5 (-114).

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).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Nashville SC (0 wins, 3 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Charlotte FC (1-1-1) to GEODIS Park Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville SC vs. Charlotte FC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Nashville SC has only drawn this season and has a plethora of results, opening the season with a 0-0 home draw to the Red Bulls then drawing Colorado 1-1 and most recently drawing the LA Galaxy 2-2. Nashville did make the CONCACAF Champions Cup and was eliminated in the Round of 16 after a 3-1 loss in the 2nd leg against Inter Miami Wednesday. Nashville was 1-1-0 against Charlotte last season.

Charlotte got off to a quick start but has struggled on the road. It has won its lone home game and is 0-1-1 in away matches, dropping its most recent battle to Toronto FC in a 1-0 road loss. Charlotte has had more expected goals than its opponent in every game this season and almost had double Toronto in its loss Saturday. F Enzo Copetti leads the team in expected goals at 1.1 through 3 games.

Nashville SC vs. Charlotte FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Nashville 2, Charlotte 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET NASHVILLE SC (+120).

Charlotte has not played well on the road and doesn’t have the resume to back up that it will get any type of result Saturday. It was 4-5-8 on the road last season and lost its last game to Toronto, a team not expected to make the playoffs.

Nashville’s focus is now away from the CONCACAF Champions Cup and to MLS action. It is getting healthier and should have its star players on the field. Nashville was 9-4-4 at home last season, suggesting this play on the favorite may have strong value if they can repeat those performances.

Expect an experienced Nashville side to come out on top at home. At these odds, back NASHVILLE SC (+120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (+130).

Since the 0-0 draw with New York, Nashville’s offense has been heating up. It has had at least 1.3 expected goals per game and has netted 2 of its last 3 as well. Star F Hany Mukhtar, who has been among the MVP favorites in the last few seasons, finally saw the field and may be due for a larger workload at home.

Charlotte FC has scored 2 goals in 3 games, but they have had at least 1.3 expected goals in 2 of those 3 matches. The finishing will come as the season progresses. The opportunities have been there for both sides.

Expect those to start being capitalized on and take OVER 2.5 (+130).

[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.

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.

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).
