Bitesize Prediction: New York City vs Inter Miami – 25/09/25

Competition: MLS

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 1/2 @ BetUS

In what is a heavyweight MLS showdown in the early hours of Thursday, New York will welcome Inter Miami to the Yankee Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, while DC United might have signed off August with a shock 2-1 loss at home against DC United, the Pigeons have certainly proven that downbeat performance was nothing more than a minor blip. Marking their return from September’s international break with a stellar 3-1 romp away at Chicago, Pascal Jansen’s men have come skyrocketing up the Eastern Conference standings. Last seen at the Yankee Stadium clinching an action-packed 3-2 victory against Columbus, the former AZ Alkmaar boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. In fact, since returning from September’s fortnight interval, New York have won all of their previous three consecutive MLS showdowns by an aggregate score of 8-3. Gaining a recent reputation for their clinical performances in the final third, Thursday’s hosts will be confident of collecting a heavyweight scalp here. In fact, including a 2-1 win at home against Nashville last month, Jansen’s side have won six of their previous seven MLS appearances – a run that stems back to a 1-1 stalemate against Sporting KC on July 20th.

As for the visitors, despite marking their return from September’s international break with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Charlotte, Inter Miami have claimed an immediate boost over the past fortnight. Last seen clinching a rollercoaster 3-2 victory against DC United, Javier Mascherano’s men have secured consecutive MLS wins for the first time since the middle of July. However, facing a major uphill battle in the race to defend their Eastern Conference crown this season, the Herons have drastically failed to find any kind of stability away from the Chase Stadium. Hit with back-to-back 3-0 defeats against Charlotte and Seattle so far this month, Thursday’s guests look set for what will be another stern examination in midweek. It should also be highlighted, Inter Miami also hold a nightmare record against NYCFC. In fact, on what is a remarkable rut, Mascherano’s side have collected just a single point from any of their five historic trips to New York.
