Why FC Cincinnati is a good bet versus Inter Miami
The home team, this match happens in Cincinnati, doesn’t go into this playing their best. But that’s okay.

Cincinnati is too good of a team to lose three straight. So the fact Cincy’s soccer club has fallen to Nashville and Columbus in their last two means Cincinnati is ready to get back on the winning track. Cincinnati continues to lead on the MLS Standings.

Why Inter Miami is a good bet versus FC Cincinnati
Messi has turned Inter Miami from the worst club in Major League Soccer to one of their best. Since joining Inter M, Messi has led the South Beach squad to 8 straight wins.

On Wednesday, Inter will be looking for their ninth straight victory. Unless Messi doesn’t play, a ninth win is probable.

Final Betting Analysis: FC Cincinnati vs Inter Miami  
Cincinnati has home pitch advantage, but Miami is unbeatable if Messi plays. Lionel is so much better than anyone else in MLS that unless something happens, unless he becomes injured, Inter Miami should add a U.S. Open Cup win to their Leagues Cup victory.

Cincy won’t make it easy, though. The underdog in this saw how Nashville played Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup Final. Cincinnati will do the same. Expect the home squad to make Messi and Inter M work for the win by forcing a regulation draw.

Why Real Salt Lake is a good bet versus Houston Dynamo
A deep dive into Real Salt Lake’s form and it’s obvious the team can hang with opponent Houston Dynamo.

Although Salt Lake failed against LAFC and Monterrey in a couple of Leagues Cup matches. RSL beat Leon, a very good Mexican Liga squad, 3-1. Real Salt Lake also has wins over New York Red Bulls and the Seattle Sounders in their last 5.

Why Houston Dynamo is a good bet versus Real Salt Lake
The home squad in this is on fire. Throw out the 2-1 loss to Charlotte FC a couple of matches back.

Take a look at the 5-0 win over Portland. Houston dominated in every way imaginable. This happens in Houston so the Dynamo have home pitch advantage. 

Final Betting Analysis: Real Salt Lake vs Houston Dynamo
There’s a chance Houston bounces. However, the Dynamo possess the home edge. Not only does Houston have the home edge, but the Dynamo are also in much better form.

Real lost their last while Houston blasted Portland by 5 goals. The Dynamo win this in regulation.
