Why we're backing this Bet Builder Tip 💭
Over 7.5 Match Corners
Both teams attack with width and like to stretch the pitch. Inter Miami’s matches in MLS average over nine corners and they often win several themselves thanks to overlapping full-backs and Messi dragging players out of position. Al Ahly are no strangers to set-piece pressure either. In their CAF Champions League run, they consistently forced five or more corners a match. This line feels low for what should be an open and busy contest.
Inter Miami 4+ Shots on Target
With Messi involved, you can count on quality attempts. Inter average nearly five shots on target per game in the MLS, and even when they are under the cosh, they usually work the keeper. The Egyptian defence is organised but not impenetrable. Expect Miami to carve out chances and clear this line, even if they don’t dominate.
Over 3.5 Cards
The opening game of a major tournament often brings nerves, tough tackles and a little gamesmanship. Al Ahly are known for their aggressive pressing and tactical fouls, especially in tight midfield battles. Inter Miami also rack up bookings when chasing games. With different refereeing styles clashing and both teams wanting a fast start, four cards seems well within reach.
Al Ahly 4+ Shots on Target
The Egyptians average six shots on target per game across domestic and continental action. They’re confident in possession and like to test the goalkeeper regularly, especially when playing sides that push high and leave gaps. Inter Miami can be vulnerable between the lines and if Al Ahly sense any hesitation, they’ll strike quickly and often.
Inter Miami 10+ Fouls Committed
This leg ties in nicely with the card angle. Miami average over 12 fouls per game in MLS, one of the highest in the league. Their midfield lacks natural ball-winners, so they rely on tactical fouls to slow the game down. Facing a quick and well-drilled side like Al Ahly, they’re likely to break up play regularly and hit double figures in the foul count.
