Inter Miami vs. FC Dallas: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Inter Miami host FC Dallas on Sunday aiming to bounce back from a midweek setback. Lionel Messi and co. were beaten 2-0 by the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of their Champions Cup semi-final.

The Herons face the return leg against the Canadian side on Wednesday, but first, they are out to build on a solid start to the MLS campaign.

Dallas head to Florida on the back of a three-game winless run, which has left them ninth in the Western Conference. Can they shake that poor form to cause an upset at Chase Stadium?

Inter Miami vs. FC Dallas betting picks and predictions

Inter Miami to win and both teams to score (+200)

Inter Miami are just shy of top spot in the Eastern Conference, only a point behind Charlotte and Cincinnati having played a game less than both of the top two. The Herons are unbeaten in the league so far, winning five of their first eight games.

However, Miami has endured some issues defensively across its last eight games and heads into this weekend following back-to-back clean sheets in MLS, although it has conceded 8.8 Expected Goals across the last five league outings.

Dallas has scored seven goals across its five away trips this term and itcan exploit a Miami side who are conceding too many chances. However, that may still not be enough to hand the visitors a victory.

Inter Miami have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last three home games in all competitions. However, the Herons have still claimed wins over the Philadelphia Union and LAFC in that spell. With the hosts expected to shuffle around their lineup between clashes with Vancouver, Dallas can get a goal in a defeat. 

Petar Musa to score anytime (+162)

Petar Musa looks like the visitors’ best route to a goal in this clash, as the forward has made a bright start to this MLS campaign. He’s level with Luciano Acosta at the top of the club’s scoring charts, but Musa has the greater Expected Goals tally of the pair. 

Musa has also done his best work away from home this season, with all three of his goals and two of his three assists coming on the road. The forward has scored in three of their four away matches to date, so he stands out as an anytime goalscorer pick for Sunday’s clash. He’s also available at slightly bigger oddds of +240 to be the visitors’ first goalscorer in this trip. 

Benjamin Cremaschi to be carded (+220)

Benjamin Cremaschi came off the bench for Miami in their loss to Vancouver, but the midfielder should come back into the side as Javier Mascherano is expected to rotate his lineup. Cremaschi has made six appearances in MLS this term and he’s certainly made an impression with the referees.

Cremaschi has been booked in four of those six games, while he is Miami’s joint-leader in terms of fouls with 10 to his name.

He’s already surpassed the three cautions he picked up in 23 MLS games last term, making him a standout in the cards market. The midfielder has only failed to commit a foul once this term, which came in a 40-minute appearance against Charlotte.

He’s made at least one foul in four straight games, while Dallas have drawn the fifth-most fouls in MLS this term.
