Latest news
New-York City
📝 The team are in sensational form and have already secured a playoff spot. A brilliant run has helped them achieve this: five wins in their last six matches. The big question is how the "Citizens" will perform in the playoffs, as they clearly play better at home. Take their recent match and victory over a fierce Charlotte (2-0). The club performed incredibly, excelling in defense. Their opponents barely created any chances throughout the match. City, on the other hand, registered an xG of more than two goals.
⚽️ Speaking of which, the trump card that sealed the victory was Alonso Martinez. The forward scored twice, bringing his season tally to 17 goals. His partnership with Hannes Wolf is proving to be highly effective.
❌ There are no injury concerns.
Inter Miami
📝 Messi and his teammates have yet to secure their spot in the knockout stages, but it's merely a formality. Inter will play all their rescheduled matches and are bound to claim their place. The team hasn't been showing consistent football, and their last MLS game was no walk in the park, with the scoreline against D.C. United speaking volumes (3-2). It's concerning that Inter Miami are all about attack, with no reliability on their own half. Even D.C. had plenty of space to exploit.
⚽️ Leo Messi netted another two goals in the last match, bringing his tally to 22. Plus, he has 13 assists to his name. Notably, we expect Luis Suarez to return from suspension in the match against New York.
❌ There are no significant injury concerns.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of the teams, we can anticipate a tense match, even though neither side has much motivation since both have already secured playoff spots. The key factor is that the game will be held in New York, which suggests a defensive strategy, as the team prefers to play this way in front of their home fans. This theory is supported by trends: the last five head-to-heads at this stadium have followed a low-scoring pattern. We'll bet on under 3.5 total goals and don't expect many goals.
