On Saturday, September 7th, New Mexico United will face Miami in the 29th round of the USL Championship regular season. The Dailysports analytics team has prepared a preview and betting tips for the match.
New Mexico United
New Mexico is leading the Western Conference of the USL Championship. The yellow-blacks have collected 48 points in 25 matches, which is 7 points more than second-placed Sacramento Republic. However, Sacramento has a game in hand, so the fight for the top spot is still ongoing, with New Mexico having 9 matches left in the regular season.
In their most recent USL Championship match, New Mexico United suffered a narrow away loss to third-placed Oakland Roots. Prior to that, they won 3-2 at home against Monterey Bay and secured a 1-0 away victory over Colorado Springs.
Miami
While Inter Miami is having an extraordinary season, the second club from the city has had a disastrous campaign. After 26 matches, Miami has only 11 points, with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 21 losses. These dreadful results have long eliminated them from playoff contention in the Eastern Conference.
However, Miami managed to win their last USL Championship match, defeating Monterey Bay 1-0 at home, breaking a streak of nine consecutive defeats.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
- New Mexico United has won only 1 of their last 5 home matches.

New Mexico vs Miami prediction
The gap in quality between the two teams is too large. I expect a high-scoring game, so my prediction is over 2.5 goals.
