<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Inter Miami vs FC Porto Betting Tips: Can Messi Make His Mark In Atlanta?</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Heading into the Club World Cup curtain raiser, Inter Miami were favourites on home soil against Al Ahly.</p> <p>But those betting odds flipped in play to make the Egyptians favourites for the win… so outplayed were Lionel Messi’s men.</p> <p>As the action switches to Atlanta, will Inter find another gear or will FC Porto, the pre-tournament favourites to win Group A, improve upon their weak opening show against Palmeiras?</p> <p>We’ll find out on Friday morning (05:00 am AEST) as the action unfolds at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Inter Miami vs FC Porto Betting Preview</h2> <p>When betting, we should never judge a team by one performance.</p> <p>But it would be fair to say that Inter Miami failed to live up to expectations against Al Ahly. Backed by a crowd of 60,000 in Miami, they were outplayed by the Egyptians – yes, they hit the woodwork twice, but A Ahly missed a penalty and created the best of the chances.</p> <p>The game finished 0-0, but it wasn’t a goalless stalemate in the true definition.</p> <p>Messi, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets all played 90 minutes on Sunday, but at their respective ages – and in hot conditions – it’s unlikely that they’ll all play a full part again on Friday, which will significantly weaken Inter’s starting 11.</p> <p>Porto were also outplayed by Palmeiras in their opener. They yielded to 2.08 xG and fielded 13 shots from inside their own penalty area, which suggests that the Brazilians found them very easy to play through.</p> <p>The Portuguese will need to improve at both ends of the pitch if they are to come away from this game with the win that gets their Group A campaign back on track.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Inter Miami vs FC Porto Betting Angles</h2> <p>This isn’t an FC Porto side in the tradition of some of the great teams that have worn the blue-and-white over the years, and it’s hard to truly believe that they have the class to carry off a red-hot favourites tag – as they are in the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/inter-miami-cf-v-porto-9307393">Inter Miami vs FC Porto betting odds</a>.</p> <p>Are Porto a better team than Inter Miami? On the whole, yes that’s tough to deny. But will they prove it in 29 degree temperatures thousands of miles from home? That’s potentially a different matter…</p> <p>This is not the easiest betting heat to decipher, but it’s worth remembering that defeat for either team here will effectively end their Club World Cup hopes.</p> <p>That pressure, allied to stifling weather, perhaps lends itself to a cagey contest, with neither showing much attacking threat in their opener.</p> <p>As such, the<strong> Under 2.5 Goals</strong> or <strong>Both Teams to Score (No)</strong> markets perhaps provide the best value in a game that’s difficult to get a real handle on.</p>
