Houston vs Inter Miami Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd April 2023
Inter Miami visit the Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday to face Houston in the MLS, looking to end their losing run in the league.
The Herons have lost their last five league games in a row, while failing to score in four of them. Ironically, they started their campaign with two wins in a row, but they have since lost form.
That winning start now seems like a distant memory, with Miami losing all the early momentum and going on a downward spiral in a rather dramatic fashion.
With only six points in the bag from seven games, Phil Neville's side are 13th in the Eastern Conference standings, with only Montreal faring worse right now (three points).
Houston aren't off to a blistering start either, accruing only four points more than Inter Miami, but there's been improvement lately.
The Orange Crush had begun their campaign with back-to-back defeats, but have since lost just once in their next five games, winning thrice.
It could've been four in their last game against New York Red Bulls until Omir Fernandez struck in the 89th minute to peg them back and force a 1-1 draw.
