The MLS has Inter Miami as a great appetizer in every matchday, which continues to give spectacle day after day. However, now they face a rival needing victories to wake up from a poor moment, Orlando City, in what is already known as the Florida Derby.

In a great game, Inter Miami scored goals from Luis Suárez, Matías Rojas, and Benjamín Cremaschi to defeat Montreal 3-2.

Why Bet on Orlando City?

Orlando City has been a fiasco all season long because they were expected to be one of Inter Miami’s competitors in the Eastern Conference. Right now, they are 11th in the conference with 12 points. 

The Florida team broke their bad streak and defeated Philadelphia Union 3-2 as a visitor, with a brace by Luis Fernando Muriel. They had been winless for three games with two consecutive defeats. 

At the same pace, as they have done in the campaign, Orlando has been poor at home, as indicated by only five points in six games. In front of their crowd, they have only been able to win once, and that was way back on March 23, when they defeated Austin 2-0. They then drew with the New York Red Bulls and lost to Toronto and Cincinnati. In these last three matches at home, they have always seen their goal breached. To make matters worse, they have conceded more goals (7) than they have scored (6). 

Coach Oscar Pareja has already acknowledged that what his players have done so far is frustrating, to say the least. However, the support for his work from the board of directors is sustained. 

Pareja’s injured players for this match against Inter are Ramiro Enrique, Tahir Reid-Brown, and Rafael Santos. 

Why Bet on Inter Miami?

Inter Miami is the opposite of its neighbor in Florida, as it has more than lived up to the expectations generated by the squad led by Argentine coach Gerardo “El Tata” Martino. 

With a great goal by Matías Rojas and two more by Luis Suárez and Benjamín Cremaschi, Inter Miami turned the score around and beat Montreal 3-2 as visitors. The Paraguayan Rojas, the most recent addition, has started on the right foot. In three games, he has played 131 minutes, scoring three goals and assisting once.

In general, Inter suffered a hard blow when they were eliminated from the Concacaf Champions Cup, but they recovered at the local level and now lead the Eastern Conference and the MLS. The remarkable level is a team effort, of that there is no doubt. However, in offense, there are two who stand out above the rest: Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. If the Argentine had already given great flashes in 2023, this year has been no less after overcoming an injury at the beginning of the campaign.

So far, he has a total of 10 goals and 13 assists. One more conversion has the Uruguayan Suarez, proving that he is one of the best reinforcements of this campaign. However, in the last game, it was the first time this season that Leo did not score or assist. 

It has been five consecutive victories and seven undefeated games for this team in MLS. With 27 points, they lead the entire MLS, plus their 35 goals make them the best offense. However, the 20 goals against are worrying. Only 6 of the 29 teams in the tournament have conceded more goals. 

Jordi Alba, Shanyder Borgelin, Facundo Farías, Ian Fray, Diego Gómez, Federico Redondo, and Robbie Robinson are the team’s casualties.

Final Betting Analysis: Orlando City vs. Inter Miami

This year, these clubs have already met at Inter’s home, and it was a resounding 5-0 victory for the locals. The goals came from Luis Suarez (2), Lionel Messi (2), and Robert Taylor. Martino’s team is undefeated in this derby for three dates with two wins and a draw, and the record is very even with five victories per side and four ties. 

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Inter Miami as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 2.26, Orlando City has 2.931, and the draw is at 3.72.

The Lions in previous years proved to be a good team, but they have a negative dynamic this 2024, and that is why they will not be able to stop the excellent level of Inter Miami, which, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, will win. Well, go for a 2-4.

Go for a win for Inter Miami. If you bet $100 at 2.26, you will gain $126 for a total payout of $226.
