Prediction: Inter Miami vs San Diego FC

Turning their attention back to MLS duties in the early hours of Monday, Inter Miami will welcome San Diego to the Nu Stadium.

Although Europe’s elite domestic leagues might have taken an extended break for September’s international break, there are plenty of eye-catching betting promotions available.

Inter Miami

Starting with the hosts, lifting the Campeones Cup earlier in the week following a routine 2-0 victory against Mexican outfit Cruz Azul, Inter Miami will be desperate to use Thursday’s success as a platform to build on. Despite signing off August with a rampant 7-1 romp against Montreal, Kily Gonzalez’s side have struggled to find any kind of domestic stability. Last seen in MLS action playing out a thrilling 2-2 stalemate against Nashville, the Herons have remarkably claimed just a sole win from any of their previous eight consecutive top-flight appearances – a run that stems all the way back to July 26th. It should also be highlighted, Inter Miami have failed to muster a single MLS clean sheet at the Nu Stadium since the middle of May.

Yet to make a single appearance across any competition since the start of May, former Celta Vigo striker Tadeo Allende remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury. Likewise, suffering another injury setback earlier in the month, fellow Argentinian attacker Mateo Silvetti is recovering from a muscle issue.

Once again proving to be Miami’s hero on Thursday and already registering a staggering 30 direct goal contributions in his 22 MLS appearances (19 goals, 11 assists), eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi will spearhead Gonzalez’s charge.

San Diego FC

As for the visitors, while San Diego might have signed off August with back-to-back MLS victories, it appears that was just a minor boost for Mikey Varas’ downbeat squad. Last seen putting in a nightmare performance as they slumped to a 5-0 drumming at home against Philadelphia, the California-based outfit have come tumbling down the Western Conference standings. Getting September underway with a toothless 1-0 defeat against Orlando, Monday’s guests have lost each of their previous three consecutive MLS appearances by an aggregate score of 9-2. Pencilled in as a landslide underdog when they travel to Florida, it’s also worth highlighting that San Diego have also clinched just a sole MLS victory on their travels since the start of March.

Missing out against Philadelphia last week with a reported muscle injury, San Diego are once again sweating over the fitness of new recruit and former DC United midfielder Gabriel Pirani. However, serving a one-match suspension in California last time out, CJ dos Santos should be handed an immediate full recall between the sticks.

Enjoying another dominant individual campaign in California and registering 19 direct goal contributions in his 24 MLS appearances this season (nine goals, 10 assists), former Anderlecht star Anders Dreyer will spearhead San Diego’s attack.

Remarkably mustering just a sole win from any of their previous eight consecutive domestic appearances, the American giants are also looking to kickstart their Eastern Conference title charge. Meeting a San Diego squad who have lost all of their last three straight MLS showdowns by an aggregate score of 9-2, Miami should feel that they have been handed a golden opportunity in the early hours of Monday.
