Atlanta United
Inter Miami CF
As part of the regular MLS season, a match between Atlanta United and Inter Miami will take place on the night of Thursday, September 19th. The game is scheduled to start at 01:30 Central European Time. This prediction for the match was made by experts at Dailysports.
Atlanta United
Atlanta has not been having the best season. With six rounds left in the regular season, the team is still contending for a playoff spot, but the battle ahead is going to be tough.
After an early exit from the Leagues Cup, Atlanta has played three MLS matches. Two losses and a win against Charlotte have made the playoff race even more intense, and now United has only themselves to blame. Any further slip-ups could be costly.
Inter Miami
Inter has been in excellent form from the start of the season and continues to dominate the standings. The team comfortably leads the Eastern Conference, holding a ten-point lead over second place.
Lionel Messi has finally returned after injury, and what a return it was. In the last game against Philadelphia, the Argentine star scored twice and provided an assist to Suárez. Interestingly, both Suárez and Busquets will miss the next game due to suspension.
Match Facts
- Atlanta has not won in three consecutive home games.
- Inter has won five straight MLS matches.
- Atlanta averages 1 goal per game at home, while Inter averages 2.3 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Atlanta United: Guzan, Lennon, Gregersen, Williams, Amador, Slish, Fortune, Silva, Miranchuk, Lobzhanidze, Rios.
- Inter Miami: Callender, Alba, Martinez, Avilés, Weigandt, Redondo Solari, Gressel, Taylor, Gomez, Messi, Campana.
Head-to-Head
Atlanta has won the last two head-to-head meetings, and Inter has not beaten them away since 2020.
Prediction
Despite the absence of several key players, Inter is still considered the favorite. I believe the visitors will prove their superiority on the field, and I predict an away win with a handicap of 0.
