Atlanta United FC vs Inter Miami CF Pick Analysis

Miami has three wins and three draws over its most recent six matches in the MLS while Atlanta has three wins, one loss, and two draws. Although Atlanta has had some success head-to-head against Inter Miami, the Five Stripes will struggle on Friday night. Miami with its deep, talented roster led by Messi and Suarez will be too much for Atlanta. Miami scored 79 goals during the regular season therefore the play here is OVER. Final Score Prediction, Inter Miami CF wins but our best play is OVER 3-1.
