Inter Miami vs Charlotte Predictions & Picks
Inter Miami battled to a much-needed 2-1 win over New England Revolution in their last MLS match as they brought an end to two matches without a win.
Charlotte have won their last two in commanding style after hammering both Montreal and Orlando 4-0.
- Miami have drawn one of their last two matches (W1)
Head To Head
Across their last 10 meetings, Miami have won four times, Charlotte have secured three wins and three matches have ended as draws.
Inter Miami Form
Inter Miami took the initiative in the battle for second in the Eastern Conference as they beat New England Revolution in a fighting 2-1 win that saw Lionel Messi score a late winner.
Victory ensured Miami leapfrogged their vanquished opponents, but they are yet to secure the runner-up spot with New England a single point behind. Fortunately for Miami is the fact they are unbeaten in their last two, although their last home match ended in a frustrating 2-2 draw with Cincinnati.
At home, Miami have been surprisingly poor this season. Just two defeats in 16 is not a bad return, but six wins and eight draws have seen the side struggle to take advantage of playing on their own patch. Three draws in their last five at home is a worrying return, and with a Charlotte side that have been solid on the road in town, I predict the points will be shared.
Charlotte Form
Charlotte continued to make amends for their three-game winless run in October with a second statement 4-0 win over Orlando City, with this following their crushing win over Montreal by the same scoreline.
Their pair of wins has seen Charlotte move up to fifth in the Eastern Conference with 53 points. Philadelphia Union are six points behind while Chicago Fire are only two clear of Charlotte. A win in this one could see Charlotte move up to fourth.
On the road, Charlotte have lost seven of their 16 with five wins and four draws coming in this time. Across their last five away games, two matches have ended in draws, while the sides have shared the spoils in two of their last five. With the pair pretty well-matched when looking at their output this season, I am backing Charlotte to take a positive point from their hosts.
Verdict
I am backing the pair to share the spoils in this one as their unbeaten runs are extended.
