Inter Miami vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions
Prediction
Inter Miami 3, Nashville SC 1
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
Unfortunately, there’s no real value in betting on Inter Miami to win this game, but they played well at home and seem to have prepared to put their best product on the field.
They should come out on top, and backing goals to be scored may correlate with backing the home side, so look to the total for value instead of taking Inter at -220.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (+148).
Inter Miami has an offense that is capable of scoring goals at a fast rate. Miami has scored at least 2 goals in 4 of its 5 matches throughout all competitions, and it has tallied 9 goals in its last 3 games (2 MLS and 1 CONCACAF Champions Cup). Inter has Messi and F Robert Taylor along with a strong and veteran midfield.
Similarly, Nashville already showed it can score on Miami and has the star power in Mukhtar to break through an aging Miami backline. Inter has allowed 5 goals in their last 2 Games while Nashville has netted 2 in each of its last 2.
Expect a high-scoring battle and take the alternative OVER 3.5 (+148).
