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).
