In one sense, Inter Miami's debut in the FIFA Club World Cup went as anticipated. Miami held the ball for long stretches, generating lively offense against the Cairo club Al Ahly. Al Ahly waited for turnovers before streaking down the pitch on dangerous counters and breakaways. But the surprise came when both veteran goalkeepers played lights-out, making the match turn into an eventful 0-0 draw.
Inter Miami will try to improve on the one-point outcome in Round 2's bout with FC Porto, set to kick off at 3 p.m. EST in Atlanta on Thursday. The Herons' concern is that FC Porto is the highest-ranked opponent Miami has ever faced, a UEFA Champions League team featuring the upstart striker Samu Aghehowa.
Oscar Ustari was sensational between the posts on Saturday. But if Miami coughs up the football on its midfield possessions again, a faster opponent will be poised to bag several goals and win easily.

Inter Miami vs FC Porto Predictions and Picks
Could the surprise form of Ustari spark Inter Miami's back line to play crisper football? It's not unusual for a team to play recklessly on defense until realizing that their goalkeeper gives them a chance within the system. As for Inter Miami's strikers, they're having problems finding enough space to operate.
The Herons don't have enough players going fast enough around Messi. Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets aren't producing the pace needed to help #10 when opponents crowd him, and there are no speedy threats in Miami's youth corps to compensate. "Suárez could not beat faster and more agile defenders," wrote Shamseer Mohammed of Gulf News after watching the Herons' CWC debut.
The Miami-Porto total should be at least as high as O/U (3) under the circumstances. Inter Miami can try for a ragged game that's decided on set pieces and Messi's free kicks. If the plan fails, Miami will probably lose 0-4. If it works, 2-1 or 2-2 is the probable outcome, predicting a payoff on the over bet either way.
