Inter Miami form and stats
There's been little loot from Inter Miami's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 10 away games in the Major League Soccer. Inter Miami only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Inter Miami have lost on their last two travels.
Inter Miami's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Cincinnati that finished 4-4. An insane match with masses of goals last time out for Inter Miami, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that match, will this game be as full of joy? Scoring three goals against Cincinnati was a blast for Higuaín, the draw result 4-4 not so much fun. Attacker Higuaín got a player rating of 9.4 in the game. "Man of the match" Higuaín scored three goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against New York City wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.We have checked recent matches where Inter have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 3 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Inter Miami manager Neville as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Montreal Impact.
Inter are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 10 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Inter Miami have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
