Atlanta United vs Inter Miami Match Analysis & Prediction
19/09/2024 2:30 am
Atlanta United can move above the Eastern Conference playoff line in Major League Soccer when they host Inter Miami on Thursday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
A 2-0 defeat to Nashville SC this past weekend has the Five Stripes two points below DC United with a game in hand, while the Herons are seven points clear of the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Supporters Shield race, coming from behind to beat the Philadelphia Union 3-1 last time out.
It was a less-than-ideal start for Atlanta over the weekend, conceding after just five minutes and failing to generate many quality chances despite registering five efforts on target.
Rob Valentino’s side have failed to score in three of their previous four matches across all competitions, winning just one of those games (1-0 at Charlotte FC).
In their last three matches played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium across all competitions, the Five Stripes have failed to win, scoring in only one of those instances (3-3 draw against DC United in Leagues Cup).
The comeback team, better known as Inter Miami, reacted well yet again to an early goal on Sunday as the continue to pad their lead atop the table.
That lead is currently 10 points over FC Cincinnati for first in the Eastern Conference, while the Herons can reach 20 wins in the league on Thursday, doubling their total from a year ago.
Tata Martino’s side have been deadly in the attacking third all year, scoring a league-high 65 goals, made even more impressive by the fact that they have only taken one penalty in MLS this season.
Atlanta United vs. Inter Miami Head to head
In the previous 13 meetings between these two teams, they have claimed five victories each while drawing in three. Atlanta have scored 19 goals and conceded 18 in the process.
