US MLS continues with a fascinating tie at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison. Unfortunately, the great man Lionel Messi will not feature which is a huge blow to both sets of fans and Inter Miami themselves. The MLS season is only just beginning, both sides are in the upper reaches of the Eastern Conference. NY sit in 6th with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Games have been tight with 9 goals in their 4 games (2.25 goals per game average) Inter Miami top the section with 3 wins and 1 draw and 1 loss so far. Their games have been crazy entertaining with 18 goals in their 5 matches (3.60 goals per game average)
Team news: NY Red Bulls will be without Daniel Edelman due to suspension, while international call ups take Noah Eile, Cory Burke, Emil Forsberg, and Carlos Miguel out the team. Inter Miami are without Messi as mentioned. They also must do without Robbie Robinson and Ben Cremaschi due to injury. Internationals affect them also with Drake Callender, Diego Gomez, Frederico Redondo and David Ruiz Called
Head-to-head statistics: 6 games – 4 wins NY Red Bulls and 2 wins Inter Miami.
Betting selection – Injuries and international call ups decimate both sides here and squad depth will be a key factor. I see goals here and the call is either o2.5 goals or both scores. I take the latter option at 1.72 or 8-11 at Betfair.
