FC Cincinnati vs Inter Miami Preview & Picks


FC Cincinnati's last game in the US Open Cup saw them swat Pittsburgh aside in a 3-1 victory back in June. 

Inter Miami secured a tight 1-0 win over Birmingham in their last outing in the US Open Cup to make it four wins in a row for the side. 

  • Cincinnati have won three times in 90 minutes and once on penalties (US Open Cup)
  • Cincinnati have won two of their three home games to nil (US Open Cup)
  • Inter Miami have won three of their four matches in 90 minutes, while they have one win on penalties (US Open Cup)
  • Inter have kept a clean sheet in two of their four games (US Open Cup)

Head-To-Head


Cincinnati secured a 1-0 win over their opponents when they last met in the MLS, with this stretching their unbeaten run against Inter to three games. In their last seven, Cincinnati have two wins, Inter have won four wins and there has been one draw. 

FC Cincinnati Form 


Cincinnati have looked very strong in the US Open Cup, with excellent 1-0 wins over Louisville City and New York City seeing the side start their campaign off well.

They needed the help of penalties to finally beat New York Red Bulls before they then downed Pittsburgh 3-1 in a powerful performance. On the back of four wins in a row, Cincinnati will be confident that they can notch another victory. 

However, Cincinnati have the unenviable task of trying to stop the winning run Lionel Messi has helped Inter Miami embark on across their triumphant Leagues Cup campaign. 

Inter Miami Form 


Inter Miami were taken to penalties by Miami FC in their opening match of the cup before edging to a 1-0 win over Charleston in the next round. This was then followed by a 2-1 win over Nashville and a 1-0 victory against Birmingham. 

Since this win over Birmingham, Inter have won the Leagues Cup in dramatic style, with the side stunning the rest of the competition. 

Much of their upturn in form is attributed to intelligent signings, with the arrival of Lionel Messi something that has brought goals, wins and trophies. Now, the away side will be looking to their big-game players to see them through to another final. 

Verdict

I am backing Inter Miami to win this one as Cincinnati fall foul of the brilliance of Lionel Messi.
