Our record in Major League Soccer
Settled results only — every published pick is recorded win or lose. Full track record →
Based on at least 20 settled predictions.2 published markets
Inter Miami’s home scoring rate (2.8 gpg) combined with NYC FC’s overall scoring (1.5 gpg) gives a joint expectation of nearly 4 goals per match. Their defensive averages (1.9 and 1.4 conceded) suggest both teams will concede regularly. The head‑to‑head average of 3.2 goals and a recent 3‑2 result reinforce a pattern of three‑plus‑goal games. While injuries could temper attacks slightly, the combined offensive and defensive metrics still strongly support a total of three or more goals.
