Inter Miami vs Atlanta United prediction: Herons to steamroll the Five Stripes
Key stats
- Inter Miami have won thrice in their last five outings (D1, L1).
- The Herons are undefeated in nine of their last 10 home games (L1).
- Atlanta are on a two-game losing streak in away MLS outings.
- The visitors are winless in four successive league fixtures (D1, L3)..
Correct score prediction: Inter Miami 3-1 Atlanta United
Javier Mascherano’s men bounced back into shape with a 4-1 win over New England Revolution, just days after Chicago Fire hammered five past them in a 5-3 victory. However, the Herons are likely to draw inspiration following their recent triumph, with the visitors faltering on the road in recent outings.
Atlanta have won just one of their last 16 away league trips, etching themselves as the poorest side away from home this campaign. Winless in four on the trot, their last two losses have been without a reply.
The two sides are poles apart in terms of individual quality and team morale, and Inter Miami are poised to secure all three points in this encounter.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Miami for the win
- HOME: 10/21 (1.47) – 68%
- DRAW: 7/2 (4.50) – 22.2%
- AWAY: 19/5 (4.80) – 20.8%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
