SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of New York Red Bulls’ and Inter Miami’s clash in MLS on Sunday.
New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami (Sunday, 00:30)
New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami will do battle in an intriguing-looking MLS match-up in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Sandro Schwarz’s hosts produced one of their most impressive results of the season in midweek, claiming a resounding 5-3 win over New England Revolution.
As for Inter Miami, they saw their five-game winning run come to an end when slumping to a 3-0 loss at FC Cincinnati last time out.
Eric Choupo-Moting 1+ Shot on Target
I successfully backed Eric Choupo-Moting to score against New England earlier this week and I’m kicking off what is a Bet Builder double by backing him to register a minimum of one shot on target during this contest. The New York Red Bulls striker is enjoying a fruitful season in front of goal, netting 14 times across his 22 appearances in MLS this term so far. That impressive goal haul has coincided with the Cameroon striker averaging 1.31 shots on target per game this season.
With that in mind, the former Bayern Munich man looks well placed to land an on-target effort against an Inter Miami side that have found clean sheets hard to come by this season. In fact, Javier Mascherano’s men have failed to silence their opponents in 17 of their 20 MLS matches this season, including eight of their 10 assignments away from their Miami headquarters.
Sergio Busquets to Commit 1+ Foul
For the second and final selection of the Bet Builder, I’ll include Sergio Busquets to commit a minimum of one foul. The experienced midfielder has been a regular on the referee’s radar throughout his illustrious career, and he should have no shortage of defensive work to get through at the Sports Illustrated Stadium on Sunday.
Busquets has averaged a shade under one foul per 90 in MLS this season, overstepping the mark at least once in eight of his last 10 outings. On top of that, the 37-year-old maestro has tackled his way into the referee's notebook in three of his last six appearances in MLS, including Inter Miami’s recent away day at New England Revolution. Busquets is likely to be in a direct battle with Emil Forsberg on Sunday, with the Red Bulls ace drawing an average of one foul per game this season.
