Inter Miami can tie their franchise’s longest winning streak when they host Atlanta United on Sunday in Major League Soccer action from DRV PNK Stadium with kickoff at 8 pm.
The Miami FC has been on a roll lately, winning three consecutive matches. After ending Rave Green’s unbeaten run in the league, it got back to winning ways against NYCFC and then drew 1-1 with Club Tijuana in CCL play.
Even without Gonzalo Higuain, whose time with the club may end, there is a reason for cautious optimism. Miami has gotten back to its defensive ways by keeping two straight clean sheets in league and CCL play.
Neville has credited their recent good results to a commitment to “continuing the hard work” required to win. Neville will have to improve his team’s defensive efforts at home to keep winning, allowing seven goals in three recent matches played at DRV PNK Stadium.
It’s been a tough run for the Five Stripes and their head coach Gonzalo Pineda. They are winless in two straight MLS matches, with three losses. Injuries have piled up for the team, but what’s even more frustrating is that Atlanta has had more scoring opportunities than in any previous game this year but failed to find the back of the net again.
