Will the Herons confirm their opening win?
Messi himself did not get on the scoresheet, but he set up both goals in the 2-1 opening win over Atlas Guadalajara, while new signing Rodrigo De Paul also shone. The Herons now want to confirm their opening victory in the Concacaf League Cup. Basically, the odds are good for Inter Miami to secure another victory against Necaxa. However, the Mexican representative also impressed in their 3-1 win over Atlanta on the first matchday. The Rayos are eager to trip up the next MLS club.
Basically, the Necaxistas also have a lot of quality in their ranks, although they will be without key player Agustín Oliveros, who is injured, at Chase Stadium. It is therefore difficult to imagine that the Rayos will be able to withstand the combined offensive power of Messi and Co., which is why we are sticking to our main tip and betting on a second win for the Herons. However, as the game is likely to be high-scoring, over bets are also conceivable.
Club Necaxa is by no means a walkover, however. On the first matchday of the Liga MX Apertura, they suffered a 1-3 defeat at Toluca, but then went on to pick up four out of a possible six points at home. Most recently, they were successful on the road again with the aforementioned 3-1 win over Atlanta United FC at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Georgia. It would therefore be entirely conceivable to hedge against the possibility of a draw by, for example, placing a combined bet on the double chance 1X with over 2.5 goals.
Inter Miami – Necaxa Head-to-head record / H2H record
There has never been an international competitive match between these two teams, who are now meeting for the first time ever. There is therefore no head-to-head data available that could influence our prediction for Inter Miami vs. Necaxa. However, both teams celebrated victories against clubs from their opponents’ country on the first matchday of the Leagues Cup.
Inter Miami – Necaxa Tip
The best bookmakers’ betting odds for Inter Miami vs. Necaxa clearly and unmistakably favor the Herons, who are simply too strong offensively. Messi already scored two goals in the opening win over Atlas Guadalajara and has scored twice in four of his last five Major League Soccer appearances. It is quite possible that “La Pulga” will now also score his first goal in the Concacaf League Cup, especially as the visitors are missing their defensive leader Agustín Oliveros through injury.
Against this backdrop, we think a home win for the Sunshine State side is a very good bet. Bet-at-home is offering odds of 1.53 for Inter Miami to beat Necaxa, which we are backing with six out of ten units.
