There will be goals this time
Both teams came away from their first game of Group A with a point and a clean sheet. Inter Miami’s 0-0 against Al Ahly is a real outlier for the team. For the nine matches prior to that game, there have been three or more goals scored. The stats suggest that there should have been in that game too, with Óscar Ustari in net for Miami, making eight saves, recording a goals prevented value of 2.99 in the match.
Three of the last four competitive fixtures for Porto registered over 2.5 goals in the game, making the Palmeiras 0-0 an outlier as well. Therefore, the 8/13 bet on bet365 for over 2.5 goals looks as if it could come through.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/13 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if there are 3 or more combined goals by full time
Ustari to have a big game again
As said before, Óscar Ustari made eight saves for Inter Miami, recording a goals prevented value of 2.99 in the match against Al Ahly. This was his joint-most saves in a game since joining the team last year. Miami do concede a decent amount of chances, and with that, the man between the sticks is kept busy.
Whilst the money is on Porto to dominate the game, we should expect Ustari to keep up his form and show his quality again against a formidable Porto front line including Samu Omorodion, Rodrigo Mora and Fabio Vieira. Bet365 have Ustari down at 11/8 to make at least 3.5 saves, and that is what we would go with.
Tip: Óscar Ustari to make 3.5 saves @ 11/8 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Óscar Ustari makes four or more saves
Porto will get the three points
Porto will head into this game against Inter Miami believing that they should be better than the MLS outfit. Porto have only lost twice in their last 10 competitive matches, winning seven. Compared to Miami, Porto have a much more favourable record, with the Herons losing four times in the same number of games, winning only four.
Porto are ranked the 18th best team in Europe according to the UEFA rankings and should have more than enough strength to beat Inter Miami, who are invitational participants in this tournament, rather than earning the spot through merit. That is not to say Miami are not dangerous, especially when you have some of the stars in their team like they do. I just believe that in this match, the Portuguese team’s quality will come through.
Tip: Porto to win @ 3/5 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Porto are winning the match at full-time
