Command Analysis
Sporting Kansas City
USACurrent form
Sporting Kansas City failed last season in the MLS, taking the penultimate place in the Western Conference. Only the San Jose Earthquakes performed worse, scoring 10 points less. In 2025, the hosts will try to compete for a place in the playoffs again, for this purpose, the players of the Greek Aris, Manu Garcia and Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov were invited. However, the Kansas City club has yet to prove itself in friendly matches. In February, Peter Vermes's team drew with New York City (0:0) and Las Vegas Lights (0:0), but lost heavily to Minnesota (0:6). There was no particular success in January either - we managed to beat only the University of Florida team (1-0).

Inter Miami CF
USACurrent form
Inter Miami has the most powerful squad for the MLS - Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba play in the team, and another creator of Barcelona's successes, Javier Mascherano, was recently appointed head coach. Under his leadership, the Miami team will try to overcome the first round of the playoffs, which it failed to do in 2024. Despite the confident first place in the Eastern Conference, Inter could not break the resistance of Atlanta, which was struggling to make it to the playoffs. The first match ended 2-1 in favor of Leo Messi's team, but then Atlanta United won two matches in a row, giving one of the main sensations of the season. In recent friendly matches, the guests beat a number of Latin American teams, and then drew with Orlando City (2:2).

3.70Tip and bets
Inter Miami will play the first match of the match on the road, but it still remains the clear favorite of the match. In terms of composition, the Florida team is much superior to the opponent, so Leo Messi and the company will surely take the lead in the first game. We suggest betting on the guests with a zero head start.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (0) for Inter Miami in 1.90
Bet on the total
Inter Miami strives to play attacking football, which is not surprising, because the visitors have one of the best offensive lines in the league. Sporting Kansas City is unlikely to be able to contain the attacking onslaught of the opponent, so it remains only to respond with their attacks. We think that a lot of goals will be scored in this match.
Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.70
Betting on corners
Most likely, the Miami team will seize the initiative in the match, which can lead to an advantage not only in terms of score, but also in the number of corners taken. We believe that the guests will outperform the opponent in this indicator.
Our forecast is an Inter Miami corner win in 2.15
