PSG vs Inter Miami Bet Builder Tips, Best Bets, Stats, Predictions

Veteran Inter Miami striker Luis Suarez rolled back the years with a superb individual goal against Palmeiras last week, though the Uruguayan has been rewarding foul market bettors at a more consistent rate than anytime scorer enthusiasts at the Club World Cup.
In his pomp, Suarez was a notoriously bristly character and while he has lost a few yards of pace since his peak years, the 38-year-old hasn’t lost any of his bite.

Suarez committed one foul in Inter Miami’s 2-2 draw with Palmeiras last time out, though he was collared for a game-high four fouls in the Herons’ clash with FC Porto in matchday two in Group B.

The former Barcelona and Liverpool star seemed overeager to perform against European opposition on that occasion, so expect Suarez to throw himself into duels with just as much ferocity when Inter take on French giants PSG in the Round of 16, with old adversary Marquinhos likely to be targeted in particular.

Suarez has given away 22 free kicks combined in his last 16 appearances for Inter Miami in all competitions since late February and the forward’s hair-trigger temper should land him in trouble at least once again here.

The spotlight will be firmly on Lionel Messi again as the Argentinean wizard captains Inter Miami against his former club PSG at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday and we’re tipping the 38-year-old to trouble his old employers with at least one accurate strike in Atlanta.

Messi has scored just once at the Club World Cup so far, though he has had more shots at goal (nine) than any other Inter Miami player at the tournament, in fact, only six players have racked up more attempts than the attacker in the competition overall.

Messi was good for one shot on target in each of Inter Miami’s three Group A fixtures against Al Ahly, FC Porto and Palmeiras, and he represents a decent amount of value at 1.40 to prolong his sequence of accuracy against PSG.

The Argentine icon has featured in 16 different fixtures in all comps for Inter Miami this year and Messi managed to produce at least one shot on target in 100% of those runouts.

Messi won’t hesitate to let fly if he is given an opening here, while he will also be at the front of the queue to take any set pieces within range of PSG’s goal. Look for Messi to deliver in the 1+ shot on target bracket again.

PSG skipper Marquinhos will be preparing for a proper skirmish with Inter Miami striker Luis Suarez on Sunday and the pair’s head-to-head in Atlanta has the potential to produce fouls – and maybe even cards – in both directions.

We’re sticking to the foul market here however, where Marquinhos has been priced at an attractive price of 1.53 to give away one or more free kicks at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Marquinhos started two of PSG’s three Group B fixtures in the Club World Cup’s early exchanges and gave away free kicks on each occasion, committing one foul against Atletico Madrid on matchday one and two against Seattle Sounders on matchday three.

The Brazilian defender, who committed 0.94 and 0.69 fouls per 90 minutes in Ligue 1 and the Champions League last season, has routinely been a solid bet in the 1+ foul stakes and sharing a pitch with Suarez only heightens his chances of foul play involvement.

Marquinhos and Suarez have a bit of history from some fiery Champions League clashes between PSG and Barcelona in 2017 and we expect the pair to bring plenty of heat to proceedings here.

PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been lighting up the Club World Cup with his dynamic surges down the left flank and the 24-year-old’s mesmeric dribbling skills have allowed him to manufacture numerous shooting opportunities at the stateside tournament.

Kvaratskhelia has had ten shots overall and five shots on target for PSG at this summer’s FIFA CWC making him the metric leader for the Champions League winners in each department.

The former Napoli attacker found his range with only one of his five efforts against Botafogo on matchday two in Group B; however, he showed impressive accuracy to hit the target with two of his three strikes against Atletico Madrid and each of his two efforts against Seattle Sounders on matchdays one and three.

In Sunday’s PSG will be taking aim against an Inter Milan side that conceded a mammoth 22 shots and seven shots on target in their last game against Palmeiras and on that evidence, Kvaratskhelia should have chances to test Herons keeper Oscar Ustari.

Back Kvaratskhelia to land 2+ shots on target for the third time in four Club World Cup appearances for PSG in this one.
