    Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

    Signal’s model has this finishing 3-1 to Inter Miami, with Messi and Suárez doing enough in attack to see off a Cincinnati side still inside the playoff picture but well behind Miami’s +22 goal difference. Denkey’s 17 goals should be enough to get Cincinnati on the scoresheet, but second-placed Miami, 55 points to Cincinnati’s 39, look set to close out a high-scoring night 3-1.
