Inter Miami will aim to seek revenge on FC Cincinnati in their upcoming Major League Soccer matchup this Saturday. The Herons suffered a 3-0 defeat in their last meeting on July 16, but a recent dominant victory against the New York Red Bulls (5-1) has boosted their confidence.
However, the team’s challenge has intensified after it was announced that stars Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will miss the game due to suspensions for not attending the MLS All-Star Game without proper clearance.
Cincinnati, leading the Eastern Conference, has won six out of their last seven matches, including a 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake last week.
The kickoff is scheduled for 7:15 PM ET at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. In the latest odds for this match-up, Miami is listed as +135 favorites, while Cincinnati are +165 underdogs, with a draw priced at +250. Total goals are set at an over/under of 2.5.
Before making any picks or placing bets on the FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami match, consider the insights from proven soccer expert Jon “Buckets” Eimer.
Eimer’s Predictions:
- Cincinnati over 1.5 team total goals (+110)
- Cincinnati draw/no bet (+100)
Eimer noted: “While we would have loved to see Messi available for this fixture, it doesn’t change the fact that this is still a team that only knows how to press, taking on a Cincinnati side who is loaded with tremendous attacking talent.”
This match promises high stakes as both teams vying for crucial points in a competitive league.
