New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami prediction 23.03.2024

• Competition: MLS
• Date: Saturday, 23rd March 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
• Venue: Red Bull Arena (Harrison, NJ)

The New York Red Bulls ended up in 8th place in the Eastern Conference last season. Given that there were not many improvements to the team, expectations for them are to have another steady year and potentially another playoff appearance. In the first four rounds of the 2024 season, Sandro Schwarz’s team managed to gather seven points. However, in their most recent match, they suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Columbus Crew. With an expected goal (xG) count of 1.99 for the home team and only 0.26 for the visitors, it was not surprising that Schwarz’s team experienced their first loss of the season.

Last season, Inter Miami was one of the lowest-ranking teams in the Eastern Conference. However, the team has since undergone a significant transformation, potentially becoming the best MLS team over the past six months. Gerardo Martino’s squad kicked off 2024 by securing ten points from five matches. In their most recent match, they triumphed with a 3-1 victory on the road against DC United. Despite playing without Lionel Messi, another seasoned player, Luis Suarez, rose to the occasion by scoring two goals, enabling Martino’s team to secure another win.

New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami pick: Over 2.5 goals

In their last four matches, the New York Red Bulls only managed to score four goals. However, three of these matches still had over 2.5 goals. Conversely, each of Inter Miami’s previous five games across all competitions resulted in over 2.5 goals. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 goals seems to be the most promising for this match.
