MLS Conference Finals Props: Messi’s Miami to Come Up Short?

It has been a remarkable season for Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi. The Argentinean superstar has netted 35 goals and accumulated a staggering 21 assists in 32 league matches.

However, this weekend, Inter will come up against one of the most defensively reliable teams in the MLS. NYC have allowed just 1.18 goals per game in the MLS this season, and have averaged a low xGA of just 1.38 per fixture.

That strong defensive record, and their counter-attacking style could trouble an aging Miami midfield, which lacks energy. Therefore, we like a number of MLS Conference Finals props for this showdown.

Among those include, NYC to qualify, as well as under 2.5 goals being scored, and over 3.5 cards.

MLS Conference Finals Props: San Diego’s History Bid to Fall Short?

San Diego have already made MLS history this season, topping the Western Conference standings at the conclusion of the regular campaign.

However, they were incredibly nervous in the semi-final win against Minnesota United, and those nerves could ultimately cost them on Saturday. San Diego have been far from efficient in home matches, winning ten of their 20 compared to the 12 victories in 18 on the road.

Vancouver’s experience across the field could be the vital factor, with Thomas Müller once again proving the difference maker. However, San Diego have still scored 1.6 goals per home fixture this term, and Vancouver have scored 1.95. Therefore, a high-scoring affair is likely on Saturday.
