The MLS is back in action with another set of matches this week as Inter Miami take on Atlanta United on Wednesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will need to step up in this game.
Inter Miami are in 10th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings at the moment and have recovered after a slow start to their season. The away side suffered a shock 5-1 defeat against Nashville SC over the weekend and cannot afford another debacle in this game.
Atlanta United, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table and are yet to hit their stride this year. The home side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Philadelphia Union last week and will want to bounce back in this fixture.
Atlanta United vs Inter Miami Head-to-Head
Inter Miami have an excellent record against Atlanta United and have won two out of five matches played between the two teams. Atlanta United have never defeated Inter Miami in an official match and will need to create history on Wednesday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this week.
