Free D.C. United vs. Inter Miami MLS Final Analysis:
So far, both the Inter Miami and DC United are generating scoring opportunites at a below-average rate. On the season Miami ranks 26th in attacking area possessions, with DC sitting 19th. Even though both teams are struggling to generate offensive opportunites, DC United have done a good job at limiting their opponent’s chances in the attacking zone. Given that they have given up the 8th fewest attacking possessions, they have the advantage over Miami who ranks 25th.
Look for this to be a low-scoring contest, as both teams are struggling to generate shots. In addition, each team is having trouble getting quality shots, as Miami is 23rd in on target shots, while DC is 26th. I recommend the under.
