Inter Miami vs Charlotte Prediction: Will Lionel Messi score two goals again and bring his team the victory?

Inter Miami will face Charlotte in the quarterfinal match of the League Cup. Will Lionel Messi score two goals again and bring his team the victory? Let's choose several betting options.

Inter Miami

With Lionel Messi in the lineup, accompanied by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, the club from Miami won all its matches. In the League Cup group, Inter was stronger than Mexican Cruz Azul (2:1) and Atlanta (4:0), and in the playoffs beat Orlando (3:1) and Dallas (5:4 (4:4) on penalties).

The round of 16 meeting with Dallas turned out to be the most difficult for Miami. The team lost 1:3 and 2:4 but got back at the game's end. In the 80th minute, Farfan sent the ball into his net, and in the 85th minute, Messi scored a double. By the way, Messi already has seven goals in his new team - exactly one goal per half.

Charlotte

The team from North Carolina, led by Italian coach Cristian Lattanzio, is also without defeats at the League Cup. In the group, Charlotte coped with the same Dallas (3:2 (2:2) on penalties) and Mexican Necaxa (4:1). In the playoffs, Charlotte beat Cruz Azul (1:0 (0:0) on penalties) and Houston Dynamo (2:1).

In the current MLS season, Charlotte plays fun attacking football and has a goal difference of 30:40 in 23 matches. The Polish national team forward Karol Swiderski can be noted personally in the lineup. But the main star of the club is probably the coach. Lattanzio has a lot of experience, having worked as an assistant with such renowned specialists as Fabio Capello, Roberto Mancini, and Patrick Vieira.

Expert Betting Tips

Miami, given the presence of Messi in the lineup, is the obvious favorite for the upcoming match. But Charlotte has not lost at the League Cup not once, and we will not bet on the fact that Inter will win in regulation time. They didn't beat Dallas. We'd rather bet on goals, especially since seven of the eight matches between the rivals in the current tournament have been productive. In addition, both teams scored in six of the eight games involving Inter Miami and Charlotte.
