Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Head-to-Head

This is their first-ever meeting.

Inter Miami Preview

Miami got the Club World Cup rolling in the kick-off match last Saturday against Al Ahly from Egypt. It was a match they were expected to win, but it was also not surprising that they had struggles. Al Ahly are Egypt’s top team and one of the most successful teams in the world when it come to total titles won.

If not for some key saves from Oscar Ustari and a missed PK, the Egyptians could have easily gotten something out of the game. Instead, despite several chances from both sides, (Al Ahly leading in shots on target 8-6), it ended in an entertaining 0-0 draw.

The on Matchday 2 they fell behind early conceding a penalty just 8 minutes in to Porto, but stormed back with goals from Segovia and Messi in the 2nd half to win 2-1. While they gave up 14 shot attempts and had only 6 themselves, they led in shots on target 5-3.

Back in MLS, Miami finds themselves 3rd in the Eastern Conference at 8-5-3.

Their games have all been entertaining. They’ve scored 36 and allowed 27. That’s seen their games average 3.9 GPG, the 2nd-most in MLS.

Messi has been key to Miami’s success, obviously, and has 6G/3A in his last 5 games. He’s not failed to have at least 1 shot on target in any game this season (not counting one game vs Colombia) and not counting international games he’s had 2+ shots on target in 8/9.

Offensively, Miami has plenty of players who can score. But the defense usually gets shredded. The draw with Al Ahly is their only clean sheet in 12 games and they’ve given up multiple goals in 9/12.

That’s obviously led to tons of Overs, with Over 2.5 going 10-1 and BTTS & Over 2.5 going 9-2 after Matchday 2.

Palmeiras Preview

Palmeiras drew Porto 0-0 in Game 1. Both teams had some shot attempts, 17-11 for Palmeiras, and Palmeiras led in shots on target 5-3. Each of William, Rios and Lopez had 3 shot attempts.

Then in Game 2, they only managed 1 shot on target vs Al Ahly, but got an own goal in the 49′ and Jose Lopez scored in the 59′ to get them a 2-0 win. Lopez again had 3 shot attempts. They held the Eqyptians to just 2 shots on target themselves.

Palmeiras are 11 games into the Brazil Serie A season and are sitting 4th at 7-1-3, scoring 12 goals and conceding just 8. With 22 points they’re only 2 back of 1st placed Flamengo.

Last year they were runners-up to Botafogo.

In this year’s Copa Libertadores they cruised through the Group Stage at 6-0-0 scoring 17 and allowing only 4 goals to top their group.

In the current season across all comps, Palmeiras has lost just 3 of 19 matches. Only twice in their past 10 have they failed to score and that came vs Brazil’s top team Flamengo who have only allowed 4 goals and then in this tournament vs Porto.

Inter Miami vs Palmeiras Prediction

Palmeiras aren’t a high-flying offensive team. I didn’t think Miami would get the win versus Porto but they stepped it up on the second half. Anything is possible with Messi and a draw could do both well to secure progression. In fact, the draw odds are absolutely absurd at +137, some of the lowest draw odds I’ve ever seen. They’re even shorter at Caesars for +120. Which is likely because a draw would see both go through.

Any Miami game is always a good bet to see the BTTS (+105) cash. So it’s that or the draw for these best bets in this game.
