Sixth-place Atlanta United will be out for revenge over 14th-place Inter Miami when the two lock horns for this MLS Eastern Conference clash. Atlanta hold a relatively comfortable seven point lead over eighth-place Montreal with only six games left in the regular season. However, they’ll want to secure their spot in the top seven as eighth and ninth-place enter into a play-in to decide the final postseason participant. Atlanta were embarrassed by Inter Miami 4-0 when the teams last faced off in the Leagues Cup. They’ll look to put forward a better performance this time around with this matchup taking place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The hosts have two wins, one loss and one draw since returning from the aforementioned Leagues Cup. Their most recent match ended 2-2 against FC Dallas on the road. At home, Atlanta have been strong with eight wins, three draws and only three defeats.

Despite some bookmakers laying Inter Miami as the second-favorites to lift the MLS Cup, they still face a difficult road to even make the playoffs. As things stand, Miami currently sits 14th in the East, just one spot above being rock-bottom. The Herons trails ninth-place, and a spot in the play-in, by six points. Working in their favor, however, is the fact that Tata Martino’s side have two games in hand over DC United (currently ninth) and one game in hand over Montreal (eighth). Still, even with eight matches still on their fixture list, Messi and his Miami crew will have to be near perfect in the run-in. They were able to rise to a 3-2 home win over Sporting KC in their last game without the Argentine great taking to the field. Miami have now won three of their last four and are on a remarkable unbeaten run of 12 games across all competitions.
