LAFC vs. Inter Miami Betting Tips: Lionel Messi to guide Inter Miami to victory

Inter Miami are back in action in what should be a spectacular game against LAFC. These two teams are still both fairly new to the MLS with both teams being founded in the last 10 years. Regardless of that tenure we have arguably the greatest player of all time playing for Inter Miami and we’ll be previewing the betting market for this huge fixture below.

Inter Miami have been really solid recently and despite a boring 0-0 draw a few days ago, they’re still undefeated since signing Lionel Messi. It’s no secret that Lionel Messi has been huge for the team but it’s not just his goals that are getting them over the line. Their style of play has been excellent since the signing of the Argentine and he’s really bringing the best out of the players that are in the squad already.

On top of that he has his ex-teammates from Barcelona in Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets running other areas of the pitch and they’re also helping out massively. It’s crazy that Inter Miami were such a poor side before signing them because I’m sure if the season was to start today, they’d be right near the top of the league.

All this being said, 13/5 looks a great price for them considering their level of play at the moment. Los Angeles are one of the best teams in the league and they are in second place in the MLS, but this new look Miami outfit are a real problem for the big dogs in the league.

We all know Lionel Messi as a prolific goalscorer but even more specifically, when it comes to scoring from outside the box he has most players beat. From free kicks to an edge of the box beauty Lionel Messi really has it all.

He’s proved his prowess from outside the area already with his new American side and when it comes to the figures behind his goals, he’s still rocking a solid 50% of his goals coming from outside the penalty area. When you consider that, 5/1 looks like a very generous price.

Often regarded as the best free-kick taker of all time I’m sure Messi will have an opportunity to score from a dead ball and in his last game he did in fact have an effort saved from a free-kick so it’s clear he still fancies himself.

And that wraps up all our bets for this all-American clash, best of luck to all of those following and make sure to gamble responsibly.
