Inter Miami and New York City meet so often that they have become a pairing that knows each other well. Most of their meetings have ended with the home side smiling, including the 5-1 and 4-0 wins last year, but the most recent meeting in March finished tighter than usual at 3-2. What is different this time is that New York City's recent form has not been that bad, and Inter Miami themselves have just closed out their latest league game with a 4-0 win. Inter Miami have still scored consistently all season, 68 goals from 28 games, but their defence has also let opponents score 50. New York City's scoring and conceding numbers are closer than many think (42 to 38), and in their last five games no match has been lost by more than one goal. If New York City can keep their defence locked down early the way they did in their last game, this one should drag on longer than their past meetings suggest, because Inter Miami do not close games out early every time either, and New York City's tendency to concede goals is concentrated late in games, which is also when Inter Miami score the most.
