Inter Miami ML (+105)
With both teams possessing elite attacking units, there should be plenty of chances at either end of the field on Wednesday night. Cincinnati has the second-best scoring record in the league with 24 goals in 12 games, but Miami will have the edge against a defense that's conceded the third-most goals this season.
Although travelling to Cincinnati on short rest isn't ideal, Inter Miami have the talent and depth to cope with the inconvenience and continue the push to defend their MLS title.
Cincinnati will try to suffocate Miami's build-up play, but expect Miami to take advantage of defensive vulnerabilities that have surfaced far too often for a team trying to maintain a place in the playoff race.

Lionel Messi, Inter Miami (-130)
A perennial threat to score in any game, we're backing Lionel Messi to do what he does best and add to his nine MLS goals against FC Cincinnati.
The nature of a quick turnaround for both teams might lead to an increase in fouls. Cincinnati could try to disrupt Miami's movement around the box with tactical fouls, which would lead to an increase in opportunities for Messi to score if there's a set-piece within 25 yards of the goal.
Aside from free-kick opportunities, there will be chances for Messi to score when Cincinnati pushes up the field to support attackers in the Miami end. One turnover could spell disaster for the home side.

🌤️ FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami weather
The 30% chance of rain in Cincinnati on Wednesday could make for a slick playing surface, while 16 mph winds could affect long balls and the accuracy of set pieces. Otherwise, conditions should be decent for the game, with temperatures dipping to around 45 in the evening.
💡 How I'm betting FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami
Even though they're at home, Cincinnati's defense is too shaky to trust against last season's champions. And since Inter Miami have the best road record (6-1-1), it seems natural to back one of the league's most talented teams to secure three points Wednesday.
The odds of Messi finding the back of the net are always decent, but his availability for Wednesday may be limited given that Miami only had four days' rest after their win over Toronto FC on Saturday. However, there could be value in betting on both teams to score based on the impressive attacking output of these two clubs.
