Inter Miami vs. Orlando City Odds
Game Preview
Orlando’s head coach, Oscar Pareja, didn’t want to use his best team in Nashville, as he decided to heavily rotate the squad, which led to the Lions’ 5-1 loss. It was obvious that the Colombian wanted to preserve his best players for Wednesday’s Florida Derby.
The Lions play highly efficient matches, with 8 of the previous 10 ending with over 2.5 goals, and 9 during that streak saw both teams netting.
Inter visited DC to meet United, playing 1-1. There was no Messi on the field, while de Paul, Busquets, Suarez, and Rodriguez came off the bench. Like Pareja, Mascherano too saved his best players for Wednesday.
The last 7 games Herons played were with both teams netting, and 8 of the previous 10 ended with over 2.5 hits. We can say without hesitation that Inter also enjoys displaying highly efficient matches.
