Inter Miami vs Portland Timbers Preview and Team News
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami are currently second in the Eastern Conference table. They have avoided defeat in four of their last five games, the latest of which ended in a comfortable 5-3 win over FC Cincinnati.
Lionel Messi got on the scoresheet twice in that match, while midfielder Yannick Bright ran the show from the center of the park. Bright made the joint-most defensive contributions (12) while boasting 92% passing accuracy.
Rodrigo De Paul, playing on the right side of midfield, made the most touches (97) and completed 91% of his long-ball attempts.
The Herons are nearly at full strength, with only Tadeo Allende and Noah Allen sidelined. That should allow them to field their best possible starting XI.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs Portland Timbers (4-3-3): St. Clair; Reguilon, Micael, Lujan, Fray; Segovia, Bright, De Paul; Suarez, Berterame, Messi.
Portland Timbers Team News
The Portland Timbers sit 12th in the Western table. They’ve had very little going their way this season, and this is reflected in their recent form, with just two wins in their last five matches.
They played out a 2-2 draw with CF Montreal recently, in which they managed to keep 57% of the ball but to little avail. They recorded eight blocks and 37 clearances in their defensive half.
They also impressed with their dominance in the air, winning 61% of their aerial duels. The Timbers’ attack, however, still has plenty of room for improvement, as they took just three shots on target from 14 attempts overall.
Omir Fernandez has been ruled out with a foot injury and isn’t expected back until June. There are no other major absentees on their side.
Portland Timbers predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (4-2-3-1): Pantemis; Fory, Miller, Surman, Bye; Chara, Bassett; Aravena, Da Costa, Velde; Kelsy.
Inter Miami vs Portland Timbers Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami to win
- Odds: -294 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Inter Miami 3-1 Portland Timbers
We expect Miami to win. They beat Portland when these sides last met in 2022 and sit much higher in their respective league table.
The Timbers’ away record does not make for good reading, as they’ve lost five of their seven games on the road. The Herons, meanwhile, have avoided defeat in three of their four home matches this season, giving them a clear advantage heading into this contest.
Inter Miami vs Portland Timbers Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 3.5 goals
- Odds: -132 (20Bet)
This matchup has strong potential to produce over 3.5 total goals. Each of Miami’s last three games has featured over six goals, while Portland’s last two have both cleared the 3.5-goal line. The Herons are expected to be the more aggressive of the two sides, thanks largely to the quality of their players.
Lionel Messi remains one of the league’s most dangerous players and has already scored 11 goals this season, making him the second-leading scorer in MLS. He also leads the league in big chances created with 10. Rodrigo De Paul has also been heavily involved creatively, matching that total of 10 big chances created.
For Portland, Kevin Kelsy remains the main attacking threat after recording seven goal contributions in the league.
