Inter Miami vs Atlanta United Prediction
Inter Miami wins the match -204
There will be more than 3.5 goals -125
Both teams do score -244
This match promises to be one of the most exciting of the first day, as both teams are very popular in the MLS and, although they are relatively young franchises in the American league, they are effective clubs that already hold important championships.
Knowing this, our first Inter Miami vs Atlanta United prediction is the winner of the match or bet also known as the money line . Here, Novibet’s odds have a clear favorite to win this first date of the MLS Playoffs: Inter Miami , although the team with the Five Stripes had a good season and will seek victory.
Inter Miami is expected to win the match at -204 and the team led by Messi and Suarez has a 63% chance of winning . As for Atlanta United’s victory, it has odds of +435 and is the underdog of the match with only 18% chance of winning. A draw is a better valued result with odds of +395 and a 17% chance.

So, if you plan to place an $80.00 pesos bet on Inter Miami to win, you will get a potential profit of $119.20. While, betting the same amount on Atlanta United to win would leave you with a potential profit of $428.00 pesos, considerably higher, but with lower odds. With a draw, you can receive $396.00 pesos.
Another football bet is for the total goals “over/under”, as the goal difference is not a factor in the first round of the playoffs, the teams tend to come out more in the game. Also, the last 5 games between both clubs had more than 2.5 goals. So the bet that there will be more goals has better odds with odds of -125.
The bet that fewer than 3.5 goals will be scored has odds of -110.
The third prediction is a perfect market for live betting on “both teams to score”, Major League Soccer has a very high average of games with goals for both teams, and this has happened in 8 of Miami’s last 10 MLS games. The odds of both teams scoring goals on Friday are high and with odds of -244
The option that both teams do not score has odds of +165 and little probability considering the scoring trends.
