Inter Miami vs. Atlanta: MLS Match Prediction
At the start of the MLS playoffs in the 1/8 finals on October 26, Inter Miami will play Atlanta on its home field. The hosts have won three matches in a row and are in excellent shape for the upcoming confrontation. The visitors barely made it to the playoffs through the play-in and are unlikely to stop there. How will the first game between the teams go and what reliable bets should you choose?

Atlanta United
USACurrent form
Atlanta made it to the playoffs only through the play-in. Only in a penalty shootout did they manage to break Montreal resistance. In that match, the team was leading 2-0 after the first half, but lost the advantage (2-2). One of the goals was scored with the participation of Alexey Miranchuk, who made an assist.
In the regular championship, Atlanta did not show a stable game. Only at the very last moment did they manage to "jump" to ninth place. The decisive match was the final match against Orlando (2:1), although in that match there was also a missed penalty by Alexey Miranchuk.

10.00Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, Inter Miami rightfully receives the status of a clear favorite from bookmakers. Messi team played the regular season more than confidently, there was no decline at the end, the club has no equal in attack in MLS. Atlanta, not without the help of Alexey Miranchuk, made it to the playoffs, but does not demonstrate any stable play, plus, behind everything, a difficult play-in match is behind, there is no depth in the squad. We believe that the favorite will not experience any particular problems on its home field today and will create a decent reserve for itself before the away match.
Our prediction is Inter Miami with Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 2.00
Bet on total
Inter Miami is an attack-oriented team, which is not surprising given the presence of such classy players as Messi and Suarez. At least three goals have been scored in the last five head-to-head encounters. It is unlikely that we should expect a closed game today.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.60
Bet on the first half
Let pay attention to the fact that Inter Miami does not always successfully conduct the starting segments, often "pressing" their opponents after the break. Thus, in four of the team five previous matches, a draw was recorded in the first half, which we do not exclude today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 3.10
