FC Cincinnati vs Inter Miami Preview and Team News
FC Cincinnati Team News
Cincinnati saw their impressive winning streak come to an end this past weekend with a 4-2 home defeat at the hands of the Columbus Crew. Their opponents are among the top contenders in the Eastern Conference, so it’s not completely surprising to see them come out on top. This result snapped a season-best four-game winning streak for Cincinnati.
It’s hard to decipher what’s going on with the team, particularly when playing at home. They’ve won just once in their last four appearances at TQL Stadium, but their xG data suggests they should’ve snatched at least one more victory. Winning or losing, Cincinnati’s home fixtures have proved to be entertaining, with their last six ending with over 2.5 total goals and both sides on the scoresheet.
The squad will be missing a key player in midfield, as Obinna Nwobodo will be sidelined for several weeks due to a quadriceps injury. Nick Hagglund (ribs) is out as well, while Yuya Kubo (ankle) and Sergio Santos (leg) are questionable. The duo of Evander and Kevin Denkey are expected to lead the way for Cincinnati. The former has notched 13 goals and eight assists, while the latter has racked up 12 goals in his debut season.
FC Cincinnati predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (3-4-2-1): Celentano; Engel, Miazga, Robinson; Yedlin, Anunga, Bucha, Orellano; Valenzuela, Evander; Denkey.
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami are undoubtedly the hottest team in the league based on their recent results. The break for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup hasn’t slowed them down. Instead, the squad have looked even more competitive. Having faced the likes of FC Porto, Palmeiras, and PSG seems to have helped them adapt a different kind of pace – one that’s wreaking havoc on MLS opponents.
The Herons are on a five-game winning run in MLS play and have gone undefeated in their last six outings (W5, D1) since May 24. Over that stretch, they’ve scored a whopping 20 times, but they’ve also faltered in defence. They’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those six matches, although there are some signs of progress since they’ve limited the damage to just one goal allowed in each of the last four.
Several fringe rotation players remain questionable or out for Inter Miami ahead of this clash, so their depth might be tested once again. Among those sidelined are Noah Allen (hamstring), Ian Fray (groin), and Yannick Bright (hamstring). Lionel Messi is expected to carry his side once again. The star forward is having an outstanding season with 16 goals and eight assists, including a remarkable run of four straight games in which he’s scored at least twice.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs FC Cincinnati (4-3-3): Ustari; Weigandt, Falcón, Avilés, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Redondo, Segovia; Messi, Suárez, Allende.

FC Cincinnati vs Inter Miami Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Inter Miami to win
- Odds: +179 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: FC Cincinnati 1-3 Inter Miami
Cincinnati might be favoured on the odds since they’re at home and have looked like one of the best clubs in the Eastern Conference this season. However, I don’t expect them to keep all three points this time. Inter Miami are playing at an extremely high level, and no team in MLS can match their pace and intensity. Plus, it’s hard to stop them when Messi is playing the way he’s been lately.
With that in mind, I expect Inter Miami to secure the victory. Javier Mascherano’s men might have a hard time keeping a clean sheet, something they haven’t done since April 19 in league play. Still, they should be able to keep their winning run alive against a Cincinnati side that has been slumping of late, with two losses over their last three outings at TQL Stadium.
FC Cincinnati vs Inter Miami Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 1.5 total goals in the first half
- Odds: -104 (Tonybet)
Cincinnati’s recent outings have been filled with goals, with the last four at home ending with over 2.5 total goals and both teams scoring. Furthermore, three of those contests have seen at least two goals scored during the opening 45 minutes. That highlights a trend that could be repeated here, considering the way these two clubs have been playing lately.
Inter Miami have averaged 3.33 goals scored per encounter across their six-game undefeated run, while eight of Cincinnati’s last nine fixtures have seen both sides find the back of the net. That could lead to an open match right from the start, and knowing the Herons have also endured a fair share of struggles defensively, it wouldn’t be surprising if there are multiple goals during the opening 45 minutes.
