Prediction
Nashville SC 1, Inter Miami CF 0
Money line (ML)
NASHVILLE SC (+115) is a solid value on its home pitch against Inter Miami CF (+270) in this battle between expansion sides. The big differences here are one: venue; and two: the fact Miami will have to play without its top keeper Luis Robles, who is out with a fractured left arm.
Unproven John McCarthy will be in goal for the visitors, but the task will be too much for him. Plus, Nashville has been hot, with just one loss in the past seven matches.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (-189) is a good play, even with a backup keeper in net for Miami. These sides have met twice previously, playing to a scoreless draw on Sept. 7, while Nashville took a 1-0 decision on Aug. 31.
Needless to say, a total of three goals between these two seems rather unlikely.
