Inter Miami vs Austin Game Winner
The bookmakers are having a hard time splitting these teams and with good reason. Inter Miami are almost certainly going to improve when they appoint a permanent manager and bring Messi into the starting 11.
In the meantime, it is difficult to see an improvement.
Austin have lost five of their eight away games this season. They are conceding an average of 2.13 goals per game during that period.
Inter Miami have been narrowly beaten in their last two home games so the match against Austin looks like the perfect opportunity to end their losing run in the MLS.
Miami team have won five of their last 10 home games in all competitions. This includes notable wins over New England, Nashville and Philadelphia; the teams who are currently 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the table.
Handicap Predictions
For this match, I’m backing the draw with a -1 handicap for Inter Miami. This means that should the home side win by a one-goal margin, our bet will be a winner.
Inter Miami have only managed three wins in their last 16 matches in all competitions. All of those victories have come by a margin of just one.
Bet9ja have priced this up at 10/3 under Draw (home -1).
Correct Score Prediction
Both teams have looked frail defensively this season. Inter Miami are conceding 1.56 goals per game this season. This is the 4th most in the league.
Austin are conceding the 9th most goals in the MLs with their opponents averaging 1.42 per game.
Three of Miami’s five home wins in all competitions have been 2-1. We can get odds of 89/10 with BetKing for a repeat of that scoreline this weekend which is the first of our predictions.
1×2 Predictions
I’m backing the slight favourite to win on the 1×2 market. We can get odds of 6/4 with Bet9ja for an Inter Miami win.
Austin lost their last away game 4-1 and they are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road this season. Their opponents across their eight league away games are averaging 2.13 goals per game.
Despite languishing near the bottom of the overall table, Miami have picked up some notable wins at home.
There is a feel-good atmosphere around the club with Messi due to make his debut in under a month. This should get them over the line against an Austin side who travel poorly.
Over/Under Predictions
The next one of our picks is over 2.75 goals in the match at EVS on Bet9ja. As previously mentioned, these teams have been leaking a lot of goals and their defensive numbers leave a lot to be desired so the stats make for good reading when backing goals.
These teams have met once before in a competitive fixture and there were six goals in that match. They also met in a friendly during the build up to this season. This match ended 2-2.
Our Analysis of the Inter Miami vs Austin Game
Inter Miami vs Austin sees two teams clash that are looking to improve significantly. Miami have picked up just 15 points in 18 matches in a poor start to the season which saw them sack their head coach, Phil Neville.
Javier Morales is currently the interim boss but he has failed to turn their fortunes around. Gerardo Martino looks set to join the club and reunite with Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets; players he coached at Barcelona.
But Inter Miami’s superstar arrivals won’t be in the squad for this one. The current crop of players have lost their last seven league matches. Beckham’s MLS franchise are stuck in limbo for the remainder of the season with little to play for. It remains to be seen how this will impact their performance this weekend.
Austin are 10 points above Miami. They come into this one on the back of consecutive 3-0 wins. However, both of these wins came at home. Their away form has been lacklustre.
Top Scorers Predictions for Inter Miami vs Austin Game
Goals have been fairly hard to come by for Inter Miami but I fancy them to come out on top here.
Josef Martinez has played as their focal point in attack this season. He has found the net just four times despite being the team’s top scorer. All of his starts have come as a striker and he will be the main danger man for the home side here.
Miami to End Their Torrid Run with a Win
The future looks bright for Inter Miami. This weekend’s match looks likely to be Javier Morales’ last as the interim manager and he will be hoping to go out with a win.
Miami have beaten some strong teams with the backing of their home crowd. They should find spaces to attack when they take on an Austin side that has conceded the 4th most goals in the MLS when playing away.
