FC Cincinnati vs Inter Miami Bet Builder Tips, Best Bets, Stats, Predictions

Messi is on fire right now. He’s still breaking record, he just became the first MLS player to score multiple goals in five straight matches. That makes it a ridiculous 16 goals and eight assists in just 16 appearances for Messi this season.

Of course, that means this selection has been landing regularly. Messi has averaged 2.34 SoT/90.

Incredibly, he’s hit this selection 15/16 MLS appearances this season. He only failed to get two, in a 1-0 away win at Columbus, where he still scored.

I don’t need to explain why Messi is a good pick aside from those numbers. He’s also in charge of free-kicks for his side, and we know how devastating he can be from those situations.

On loan from Celta Vigo, Allende is having an impressive campaign for Inter Miami. In a side that contains some of the biggest names in MLS, he’s still managing to leave quite the impression.

Allende is very consistent in the SoT markets. He’s averaged 1.14/90, a number that can only be bettered by Argentinian counterpart Lionel Messi.

He’s had at least one shot on target in seven of his last eight games, which included this selection paying out against European Champions PSG in the Club World Cup.

Allende has landed this selection in each of his last four, including racking up three in the 4-1 win against Montreal, with one of those hitting the back of the net.

There’s a lot at stake here, again. I backed Alba to make a foul at the weekend in a similar vein, as Inter Miami faced a strong Nashville side. Cincinnati are four points ahead of Inter Miami, with the visitors having three games in hand.

The top of the Eastern Conference is incredibly competitive with five points separating Inter Miami in fifth and Philly at the top.

Even the most experienced players get drawn in to the occasion in a game like this, and I’m backing Alba to be no different.

Alba has averaged 0.83 fouls/90 this season, which makes his price look solid when you compare to other players.

He’s made 17 starts this season and committed 13 fouls. When the pressure was on at the CWC, he committed two fouls across just 127 minutes of football.

He’ll have to keep an eye on DeAndre Yedlin. The speed demon has drawn a foul in six of his last seven matches, drawing eight fouls in total. Yedlin still has his lightning speed, whereas Alba is fading, which could be an issue.

No side has seen more goals on average this season than Inter Miami. They’ve averaged a huge 3.89 goals per match, and 79% of their games have paid out on this selection.

Inter Miami are all about entertainment. They play fast-flowing, high-tempo football. Obviously with such a strong Barcelona core (Messi, Busquets, Alba & Suarez), as well as Mascherano in the dugout, the DNA is built on that style.

Each of Inter Miami’s last 11 MLS matches have all had three or more goals. They may be excellent in attack but they are poor defensively, they’ve managed just three clean sheets this season.

A poor defence isn’t what you need when taking on a Cincinnati side with the likes of Evander and Denkey, who’ve scored a combined 25 goals this season.

Cincinnati’s recent games have been incredibly good to watch. They come in to this off the back of a 4-2 defeat to The Crew, that made it seven of their last eight outings that have landed for over 2.5 backers.
