Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati Prediction, Match Preview, Live Stream, Odds and Picks
Home Side Undefeated
FC Cincinnati is having a great start to the MLS season, but the Orange and Blue are still one point behind the New England Revolution at the top of the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami also began on the right foot, but the Herons haven’t been able to win in their last three matches, meaning they will be determined to bounce back at TQL Stadium.
FC Cincinnati: By a Nose
FC Cincinnati is currently sitting in second place thanks to a 3-2-0 record. Two of its three victories were at home, but keep in mind that all three were by just one goal, including last week’s victory over Nashville SC. Cincinnati won 1-0 thanks to Brandon Vazquez, who scored only three minutes into the second half.
That was Vazquez’s first goal of the season, but let’s not forget that last season he scored 18. Brenner Souza also scored 18 goals last season and has already scored two in the current campaign. These two are the main reasons you should consider including the Orange and Blue in your MLS picks.
Winning all their home matches so far also has a lot to do with it. First, they defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-1. Later, they beat the Seattle Sounders 1-0 despite finishing the game with 10 players.
Considering all of the above, it should come as no surprise that FC Cincinnati is in control of the MLS lines and soccer betting, thanks to a -145 price.
Inter Miami: Missing Gonzalo Higuain
Last season, Gonzalo Higuain was Inter Miami’s top scorer with 16 goals. Unfortunately for the Herons, the Argentinian decided to retire, and as expected, they’ve had some trouble scoring at the beginning of the current campaign.
So far, they’ve scored six goals, one less than the Chicago Fire and DC United, sitting in twelfth and thirteenth place in the Eastern Conference. However, thanks to its defense, Inter Miami is sitting in ninth place.
On Saturday, Inter Miami lost 3-2 to Chicago at home. The club had one point in the bag, but Kei Kamara had other plans. The 38-year-old striker scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute, proving once again that age is just a number.
Inter Miami comes in as the betting online underdog at +350 for Saturday’s clash.
