Game Preview

Inter plays interesting games these days. The last three saw at least 6 goals each, with both sides netting at least twice. After losing to Orlando in the Florida Derby 3-4, Messi and the guys posted back-to-back triumphs.

Both were on the road, one in Toronto, 2-4, and the other in Cincinnati, where they won 3-5. Inter has 31 scored goals and 24 conceded, and is one of the most interesting soccer teams in the MLS.

AS for the guests, their form is improving, whereas Portland has just one defeat in the past 4 meetings. The Timbers have won in San Diego, 1-2, then lost to Real in Salt Lake, 2-0, before trashing SKC, 6-0, and playing 2-2 in Montreal.

Though their away results are a bit concerning, with just one triumph in the past 7 outings. Apart from that triumph, this unit has one tie and 5 defeats.

Inter Miami vs. Portland Timbers Head to Head

The Herons met with Portland last time in 2022, when they won 2-1 at home.

Inter Miami vs. Portland Timbers Predictions

Both teams play efficient soccer, and their form is more or less solid. Despite Inter being a strong favorite here, we would bet on Over 3.5 goals.
