[wptb id=399231]
A Clash of Fortunes in the MLS Finale
Key Stats
– Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi has a 7.40 average rating but may miss the clash due to international duties.
– Karol Świderski of Charlotte FC has scored in three consecutive matches, making him a player to watch out for.
Charlotte FC, with their eyes firmly set on a playoff berth, are preparing to battle Inter Miami at DRV PNK Stadium in the first of their concluding home-and-home series. A recent reversal of fortunes sees Charlotte riding a wave of success, while Miami are trying to salvage some dignity from a season marred by underwhelming performances.
Previous Standings
In their last face-off, Inter Miami suffered a 1-0 defeat against FC Cincinnati, effectively putting an end to their post-season aspirations. Simultaneously, Charlotte enjoyed a crucial win over the Chicago Fire, solidifying their playoff chances. What’s intriguing is how even the incomparable skills of Lionel Messi couldn’t reverse Miami’s fortunes. Since joining, he’s missed a handful of matches due to injury. Interestingly, Miami’s form has positively correlated with Messi’s presence, with a majority of their victories occurring when he spearheaded the starting lineup.

Current Team Form and Dynamics
Inter Miami seem to be struggling without their talisman Messi. In fact, their recent performances might very well mark their worst 34-game tally in terms of points. Despite Messi’s potential absence, Miami can take solace from their past victories against Charlotte, outscoring them 7-2 in two home games.
On the contrary, Charlotte, under the guidance of Christian Lattanzio, have shifted gears at the right time. After enduring a winless streak, they’ve now won back-to-back league matches. A remarkable turnaround in their fortunes means two more victories could see them making their debut in the MLS playoffs. Defensively, they’ve showcased resilience, registering consecutive clean sheets – a rare feat for the team.
Team Statistics and Performance Analysis
Analysing both team’s expected goals, we notice a trend. Inter Miami, ranked 21/29 based on their average BettingTips4You Expert Rating, boasts a score rate of 1.2 goals per match but has conceded a staggering 1.6. Their ball possession stands at 54.4%, with their top performer being Lionel Messi with a rating of 7.40.
Charlotte FC, on the other hand, hold a similar ball possession at 54%, but fares slightly better offensively with an average of 1.3 goals. Their defence mirrors Miami’s, conceding 1.6 goals per game. Their standout player is Karol Świderski, holding an average rating of 7.00, and is in stellar form, netting goals in three consecutive matches.
Predictions
- Match Result: Given the current form and statistics, it’s feasible to predict a win for Charlotte FC. Their recent momentum, combined with Miami’s lack of form and Messi’s potential absence, tilts the scales in their favour.
- Correct Score: Given both teams’ propensity to concede, a 2-1 victory for Charlotte seems plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Karol Świderski is the man to watch, given his current streak. There’s a high likelihood he will score in this match.
- First Half Result: Considering recent form and momentum, Charlotte FC might edge ahead by half-time with a 1-0 lead.
In contrast, Colombia’s return to the World Cup stages after a 16-year gap was marked with impressive performances in 2014 and 2018. Their current form has been solid too. Under Nestor Lorenzo’s guidance, they began with a win over Venezuela and secured draws against Chile and Uruguay. Their fighting spirit was evident when they twice gave away their lead against Uruguay, only for Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez to equalise late into the game.
