USA MLS: Inter Miami Vs New York Red Bulls Predictions and Betting Tips (05/05/2024)

On Saturday, at Chase Stadium, two of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS) will meet as Inter Miami hosts the New York Red Bulls.

The Herons are currently in first place in the Supporters Shield standings with 21 points after defeating the New England Revolution 4-1. The Red Bulls, who were tied 1-1 with the Vancouver Whitecaps and are third in the conference, are four points behind the Herons.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Recent home form for Inter Miami has been lackluster, as evidenced by the Seagulls' four consecutive defeats and two victories in their previous sixteen Premier League contests. In contrast, the New York Red Bulls have won eight of their last thirteen MLS contests and have liberally spent the summer on new personnel.

Inter Miami home games in the MLS have been entertaining in recent times, as sixteen of the last eighteen have featured three goals or more, including six in a row notably. This matchup should be quite thrilling, as seven of the New York Red Bulls' previous ten away contests in the league have also resulted in scores exceeding 2.5 goals.

Sensation is typically generated when the New York Red Bulls visit an MLS venue; in 16 of their previous 21 away contests, the team has scored and conceded within the same 91 minutes. A similar outcome is anticipated when the two teams meet in their head-to-head contest, considering that thirteen of the sixteen most recent home matches between Inter Miami at this level have adhered to the same pattern.

Our Predictions

Inter Miami to win

On Saturday, the Herons will likely be reminded of the March rout they endured at the hands of the Red Bulls. We believe that this will provide additional motivation for Messi and company as they cruise to another decisive victory.

Over 3.5 goals

Inter Miami have the upper edge in this match, but we expect goals at both ends. Based on our analysis, we are predicting over 3.5 goals in this fixture.

Inter Miami have been in impressive form lately, showcasing their attacking prowess and ability to find the back of the net consistently. Their forwards have been clinical, and the team has demonstrated a knack for breaking down even the most stubborn defenses.

On the other hand, their opponents have also shown the potential to score goals in bunches. Their attacking players have the quality to punish any defensive lapses, and we anticipate an open and entertaining affair.

Given the attacking talent on display and the high-stakes nature of the match, we believe the likelihood of a high-scoring encounter is significant. Our prediction of over 3.5 goals is based on a thorough examination of the teams' recent performances, player form, and the overall dynamics of the matchup.

While we believe Inter Miami have the edge to emerge victorious, we expect both sides to find the back of the net multiple times, resulting in an exciting and unpredictable clash.
