Atlanta United and Inter Miami will be back in action this weekend when they lock horns at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the 14th round of the Major League Soccer. Kickoffs at 22:00 EAT.
With 13 matches in 2022, Atlanta United is only three points better than they were at this exact point last year, when there was unrest within the group, leading to the dismissal of Gabriel Heinze. The hosts are not experiencing their best of periods. They have not won in their last four games, and were welcome for the two week summer break having conceded at least two goals in each of their last seven games. They are slightly better at home however, having just two defeats in their last fifteen games at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
Atlanta United gets into this fixture off the back of 1-2 MLS defeat to Columbus Crew in their last game. In that match, Atlanta United managed 70% possession, 22 shots with nine of them on target and a goal scored by Dom Dwyer (91′). Columbus Crew got nine shots with three of them on target and goals by Jonathan Mensah (1′) and Erik Hurtado (45′).
On the other hand, through the early portion of the season, the Herons did not look like a team ready to improve from a disappointing 2021 campaign, but their form has improved recently. Inter Miami is unbeaten in their last five league games, however they are far from good away from home, which has proved costly for their play-off aspirations. Specifically, they have not won in their last four away games, failing to score in three of them.
Inter Miami wants another victory following 2-1 MLS win to beat Portland Timbers in their last game. In that match, Inter Miami had 53% possession, 15 shots with six of them on target and goals scored by Leonardo Campana (27′) and Robert Taylor (59′). Portland Timbers got 16 shots with five of them on target and a goal by Bill Tuiloma (78′).
