Inter Miami vs. Porto Betting Analysis
Inter Miami didn't impress in their opener against Al Ahly. Oscar Ustari made eight saves and earned the Player of the Match Award. Porto were second best against Palmeiras, but gained a valuable point. Against Inter Miami, it'll likely be a favorable encounter for Porto. When comparing the two teams, Porto is ranked 58th in Opta's power rankings, with Inter Miami is ranked 153rd.
Despite a quiet display in New Jersey, Samuel Aghehowa will be a threat. The Spaniard scored 25 goals in 43 appearances last season. And on the other hand, no side earned more clean sheets in Portugal's top flight than Porto's 16. When analyzing Inter Miami's performance in the final third, they have outperformed their xG figure by nearly 10 goals in the MLS this season.
Porto's experience and quality should be the difference at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. We can be sure that their 38-year-old shot-stopper won't perform as well as he did against Al Ahly. The American outfit looked vulnerable on defense and got bailed out by Ustari. That won’t happen forever.
