MLS Prediction: Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls (04.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 06:30 AM (Astana time), Inter Miami will host New York Red Bulls at DRV PNK Stadium in an MLS regular-season match. Bookmakers list Inter Miami as clear favorites heading into the fixture.

Let’s take a closer look at the current form of both teams, their head-to-head record, and betting recommendations.

Inter Miami: Current Form

Inter Miami suffered their first league defeat last round in a thrilling match:

• Lost 3–4 to FC Dallas despite leading by two goals
• Defensive frailties were exposed as they allowed a comeback
  Star players Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suárez were rested for that game

So far this season, Inter Miami have:

• Scored 16 goals and conceded 10 in 9 league matches
• Looked solid at home but inconsistent away
• Entered this fixture after playing a midweek CONCACAF Champions Cup match against Vancouver

With a tight schedule, it’s possible Messi and Suárez may be limited in minutes or start from the bench.

Despite recent setbacks, Inter Miami remains strong on home soil and are keen to bounce back.

New York Red Bulls: Current Form

New York Red Bulls have had a mixed start to their campaign:

• 10 matches played: 4 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses
• 11 goals scored, 9 conceded
• Currently mid-table in the Eastern Conference
  

In their latest fixture:

• Managed a narrow 1–0 win over last-placed CF Montréal
• Displayed struggles in creating clear-cut chances despite dominating possession
  

Their attack depends heavily on Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Emil Forsberg, though midfield creativity remains inconsistent.

A key weakness:

• 0 wins in 4 away matches this season (2 draws, 2 losses)
• Only 2 goals scored away from home
  

Head-to-Head Stats

  • New York Red Bulls lead 3 wins to 2

• Recent results have been unpredictable and high-scoring:

  • Inter Miami responded with a 6–2 home win
    

These encounters tend to feature goals and wide scorelines. Find out more about their stats here.
