MLS: DC United vs. Inter Miami Preview, Odds, Betting Tips, Predictions, Picks

DC United hosts Inter Miami on Saturday afternoon in one MLS Eastern Conference clash. The hosts are showing signs of slight improvement, while on the other side, the guests aren’t moving from the bottom of the conference. Though times are in Miami right now, and the fans can’t wait to see Lionel Messi on the pitch. Apart from his magic, they hope he might turn the season around and push this losing team up. As for DC, they are on the verge of the playoffs and need more consistency. 

Preview

DC United (-195) was better than FC Dallas in Texas this Wednesday night, which was the upset of the day. The team from the capital managed to take all three points by winning 0-1, with the only goal being delivered by Fountas in the second half. 

With this triumph, the DC is back in the play-in zone, yet needs more victories to reach the playoff area. A success in Dallas was the second in the past three matches, as DC defeated FC Cincinnati at home 3-0 before losing in Nashville, 2-0. 

When Wayne Rooney’s team plays, goals are more or less guaranteed, as only two of the previous seven encounters DC played didn’t end with at least three scores. At Audi Park in DC, this unit records much better results, having three wins, two draws, and a loss in the latest six events. 

Inter Miami (+475) comes off back-to-back draws at home in Florida. The first one was against Austin FC, 1-1, and the second vs. Columbus Crew, 2-2. In both of these events, Inter’s offense was looking much better than its defense. 

Still, the team is without a victory for the past four games, nine in the MLS contests. They are still alive in the US Open Cup, which is the only bright spot for Inter this year. The fans hope Messi might lead them to the silverware, but his debut is still far away. 

Inter’s recent clashes have been interesting in terms of goals, with five in a row seeing scores on both ends of the field. That’s why we say that the offense looks decent, but on the other hand, the defense is terrible. 

Latest News 

Ku-DiPietro, Luis Zamudio, Mohanad Jeahze, Nugel Robertha and Martin Rodriguez are all injured for DC. 

Messi and Busquets are both out of the picture until July 21. Corentin Jean is out due to an injury, Jean Mota, and Franco Negri also, the same as Gregore. Kamal Miller and DeAndre Yedlin are in Gold Cup. Ryan Sailor is questionable.

Head to Head Games

The first meeting of the year saw United posting a victory in Florida, defeating Inter 1-2. Last year, both games saw high efficiency, 2-2 in Miami and 3-2 for United in DC. 

Prediction

Inter’s form is terrible, while DC shows a fighting mentality, and these two wins in recent times created a good momentum before Saturday. Also, the hosts perform much better at Audi Field, and after considering all this, we will bet on them to triumph and take all three points. 

Pick: DC United -195
