New York Red Bulls 4/6 to beat Inter Miami for Saturday’s MLS battle

Competition: MLS

Market: New York Red Bulls win

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

Looking to try and close the gap on the Final Series spots this weekend, New York Red Bulls will host a struggling Inter Miami late on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, while New York might still find themselves in an uphill battle to clinch a Final Series spot, they are enjoying an extended unbeaten run. Managing to keep the mood in their camp at a high as they landed a deserved 1-0 victory against Cincinnati on the road, the Red Bulls are unbeaten in each of their last five MLS contests. Knowing that victory on Saturday could see them move within striking distance of the top-seven, Head Coach Gerhard Struber will also be boosted by his side’s rather rampant display the last time they faced off against this weekend’s guests. Making the trip to Miami on September 18th, New York landed a thumping 4-0 romp on their travels, a result that some around the Red Bull Arena billed as a season-best display.

As for the visitors, while Inter Miami might have enjoyed a stellar purple patch last month, Phil Neville’s side have really come crashing back down to earth. Last seen putting in another worrying display as they were hit with a 1-0 loss away at Portland, the one-time Manchester United defender now finds his side enduring a four-match MLS losing run. Almost finding themselves stuck in limbo, they have also shown a host of issues at both ends of the pitch. Including back-to-back 4-0 and 5-1 drummings at the hands of New York and Nashville last month, there is no doubt that Miami should face another stern test this weekend. Suffering consecutive losses on the road and blown away when they faced off against Saturday’s hosts last month, we’re backing a similar home win here.
