Inter Miami vs DC United Prediction
It s back-to-back shutouts against Miami as the Herons head into MLS Week 17 against DC this weekend. They lost 1-0 at home to the Red Bulls on Wednesday and 1-0 in Montreal the match prior. That also extends their current losing streak to four games. That proved too much for David Beckham and Miami ownership who gave , as well as Assistant Coach Jason Kreis. Javier Morales, another current assistant, will take over on an interim basis.
Neville becomes the third coach to be let go this season after Ezra Hendrickson in Chicago and Gerhard Struber were let go in early May. Will Miami get a new coach bump this weekend? It s tough to say. The Fire won their next two games, are 3-3-1 across all comps and have scored in 6/7 since. The Red Bulls also won their next two games, are 4-1-2 across all comps and have scored in five of seven. So there s some recent evidence to show some positive improvment could be coming with a new voice on the sidelines.
Going back to Miami s last game, playing to an Under against the Red Bulls (more on them later) is not surprising. New York is 14-2 to Under 2.5 totals and their games average the fewest goals at a paltry 1.5. Prior to their recent two defeats, Miami s games had seen four, three, three, three and three goals, with both teams scoring in their previous five.
NEWS: part ways with Phil Neville.
Javier Morales will take over as Interim Head Coach.

At DRV PNK Stadium, Miami, win or lose (they rarely draw), have scored in 21 of their past 23 games.
DC drew 2-2 at home to Montreal on Wednesday and lost 2-1 in Toronto last weekend. They have a single loss, but also a single win their past five (1-3-1).
In two meetings last season the teams drew 2-2 in Miami and Miami won 3-2 in DC. That s Miami s only win over DC in the short head-to-head history between these teams. DC owns a 3-1-1 all-time record over their five meetings.
DC doesn t keep many clean sheets. They have just three this season. And on the road DC has only three wins in their past 18. But Miami has kept just two clean sheets this season and none since Week 2. They ve also conceded the joint-most shots on target (78) alongside Colorado this season.
And while these goals would have come with a younger Josef Martinez on Atlanta, Martinez has scored the most goals against United in his career, eight goals in 11 games. Let s back both teams scoring in the MLS odds in our soccer picks for this one.
MLS Picks: Both teams to score (-150), risk 1 unit at Bet365
NYCFC vs New England Revolution Prediction
After 3-1 midweek defeat to Cincinnati, coupled by Toronto and Chicago picking up a point each in their 0-0 draw, the Pigeons have dropped to sole possession of 14th place in the East at 4-4-7 and 16 points.
For as poor as NYCFC have been away from home (0-3-5), they ve at least been more competitive at home (4-1-2) where they ve scored 12 of their 17 goals this season. In fact, they ve scored a goal in each of their seven games in New York.
But, home or away, across all competitions, they re winless in seven and have been outscored 13-5.
For the Revolution, if you told Bruce Arena his team would score six goals across two games, and without the services of several of his top players, he d probably be thrilled. Carles Gil and Bobby Wood have each contributed two goals each of those six. However, despite scoring three goals in back-to-back games, the Revs also allowed three in each and enter MLS Week 17 off two 3-3 draws with Atlanta and Chicago.
They ve actually allowed three goals in three straight when you include a 3-0 road loss to Philadephia. They re now winless in five and have been outscored 12-7.
These teams just met in April in Foxborough, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Each team put three shots on target with Gil and Talles Magno cancelling eachother out with late goals to see them split the points,
I think this one could be a bit more open where we see both teams scoring again, but someone finding a second. A bet on both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals is 5-2 and on a 4-0 run in NYC home games.
MLS Picks: Both teams to score over 2.5 (+110), risk 1 unit at Bet365
