We have another huge weekend of MLS soccer action to look forward to, with Inter Miami and DC United locking horns in one of the standout fixtures today.

Using BetMGM's latest MLS odds, we give you our in-depth Inter Miami vs DC United prediction and best bets.

Inter Miami vs. DC United Odds

According to BetMGM’s latest odds, Inter Miami are the big favorites to get all three points, available at just -250.

By its high standards, Inter Miami’s form has been poor of late, so a victory this weekend would be most welcome. The home team have picked up just one league success at Nu Stadium since July, but the hosts will back themselves to win this one.

1X2: Inter Miami (-250) / Tie (+450) / DC United (+525)
Both Teams to Score: Yes (-220) / No (+155)
Over/Under 2.5 Goals: Over 2.5 (-375) / Under 2.5 (+240)

DC United have also struggled for wins lately, managing just one win in their last nine MLS fixtures. Rene Weiler’s side have not won away from home since early May and could miss out on the playoffs.

As expected, DC United are the underdogs in Miami. BetMGM is offering +525 for the away win, while the draw is available at +450. Nevertheless, the side from the nation’s capital can cause an upset.

Inter Miami Betting Trends

Inter Miami have slipped 14 points behind Eastern Conference leaders Nashville SC after an alarming dip in results. Still, the Herons, now managed by Kily Gonzalez, are sitting pretty in third in the East on 46 points.

Inter have been in patchy form since MLS returned from the international break. The hosts has failed to win in five, drawing four in a row before last weekend’s surprise 2-1 loss at Columbus Crew.

The reverse in Ohio was Miami’s first MLS defeat since a 2-1 home loss to Toronto FC in August.

Inter Miami have taken four points from the last 15 on offer.
The Herons are winless in five MLS games (four draws, one loss).
Inter lost to Columbus Crew last time out, their first league defeat since August.
Despite one win in 10, Gonzalez's boys are third in the East.
Miami have lost just twice at home in MLS this season.

Last week’s loss in Columbus was a setback for Gonzalez and his club, but Inter Miami will fancy their chances of getting back to winning ways tonight. The home side are seeking their first win at Nu Stadium since hammering CF Montreal 7-1 at the end of August.

DC United Betting Trends

DC United are outside the playoffs at the business end of the season, but the Eagles can still sneak into the top nine in the Eastern Conference. DC currently sit in 11th place and are three points behind ninth-place New York City FC.However,

United have won only one of their last nine MLS games. Since the 2-1 home victory over Columbus, Black-and-Red have taken two points from a possible nine.

DC United were involved in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC last time out. The club from the capital took the lead but were behind at the break. Thomas Muller put the Canadians back in front, but Kimito Nono grabbed his second to earn United a point.

DC United have just one win from nine MLS games.
The away team is winless in three (two draws, one loss).
Black-and-Red have lost just one of five.
United’s last league victory on the road came in early May.
The Eagles came from behind twice to draw 3-3 at Vancouver last time out.

DC United’s away form has been pretty poor this term, with no road wins in MLS since a 2-0 victory in New York at the beginning of May. Overall, Weiler’s troops have picked up just two away league wins all season.

Inter Miami vs. DC United Prediction: Inter Miami to Win Both Halves (+180)

When you look at Inter Miami’s star-studded roster, Gonzalez arguably has the best team in MLS. Any team containing the likes of Lionel Messi, Casemiro, and Luis Suarez catches the eye, and we strongly believe that Miami’s dip in form is only temporary.

The Herons showed what they are capable of in last month’s 7-1 rout of Montreal, their last MLS victory. Inter was 2-1 up at halftime before adding five more in a five-star second-half display.

DC United is an unpredictable outfit right now. On their day, the Eagles can beat any team in MLS, but if Inter Miami is on song, it could be a long evening in Florida for the visitors.

We are backing Inter Miami to win both halves of this clash, available at the solid soccer odds of +180.
