New York City 1/2 to beat Inter Miami in Sunday’s MLS showdown

Competition: MLS

Market: New York City win

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Hoping to try and find a route back to the top of the Eastern Conference this weekend, New York City will host Inter Miami in the early hours of Sunday.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another impressive display, New York City are enjoying what has become a real purple patch. In their 20 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, five draws and four defeats, scoring 39 and conceding 21 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 38, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the Eastern Conference and just a single point adrift of climbing to the top of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory against local rivals New York Red Bulls, NYCFC have won each of their last three MLS matchups on the spin. Likewise, along with enjoying a five-match unbeaten run, it should also be highlighted that Sunday’s hosts have lost just a single domestic home fixture so far this season.

As for the visitors, coming off the back of a sluggish friendly display earlier in the week, Inter Miami are in the midst of an extended inconsistent spell. In their 20 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, four draws and nine defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 31 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 25, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat ninth in the standings and two points adrift of breaking into the Final Series spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 6-0 defeat against Spanish giants Barcelona in a friendly contest, Inter Miami have managed to win just one of their last five contests across all formats. Likewise, failing to win any of their previous seven away fixtures, we’re backing a home victory this weekend.
