Inter Miami CF vs DC United Preview and Team News
Inter Miami CF Team News
Star striker Luis Suarez is suspended for this game, which leaves Lionel Messi dealing with DC’s defenders all by himself. Allen Obando, Baltasar Rodriguez, David Ruiz, Fabrice Picault, and Telasco Segovia have all been sidelined with injuries. With manager Javier Mascherano typically favoring a 4-4-2 formation, Miami are known to be more conservative in their attacking approach. Although he’s occasionally deployed a 4-3-3 setup, too.

The Herons come into this fixture on the back of a 3-1 win over the Seattle Sounders, which highlighted their immense discipline. In that match, they held 53% possession and posted an xG (expected goals) of 2.53, which came by virtue of taking 14 shots and putting eight of them on target.
Miami also created eight big chances in that outing. Their passing accuracy was one to behold, and the number was put at 91% at the end of the evening. This win lifted the club to fifth position in the league table.
Inter Miami CF predicted lineup vs DC United (4-3-3): Ustari; Allen, Falcon, Lujan, Fray; Busquets, Bright, De Paul; Alba, Messi, Allende.
DC United Team News
DC United, currently sitting 14th in the league table with just 25 points, harbor no aspirations for chasing the title. If relegation existed in MLS, the team would feel threatened, but at present, their sole aim is to survive this season and prepare better for the next.
They’ve won just five of the 30 matches they’ve played so far and come into this fixture on the back of a 1-1 draw with Orlando City. They’ll be without the services of Lukas MacNaughton and Matti Peltola, both of whom have been suspended. Additionally, Dominique Badji, Kristian Fletcher, and Randall Leal have been sidelined with injuries.
Against Orlando, DC were completely outplayed and held possession for just 36%. Their attackers failed to pose a real danger inside the box and produced a pitiful 0.51 xG. They took only six shots throughout the game, two of which were on target. Most damningly, they failed to create a single big chance!
DC United predicted lineup vs Inter Miami CF (4-2-3-1): Barraza; Schnegg, Bartlett, Rowles, Antley; Enow, Servania; Peglow, Hopkins, Pirani; Benteke.
Inter Miami CF vs DC United Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami to win
- Odds: -208 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Inter Miami CF 3-1 DC United
We expect Inter Miami to win this one. DC have been lackluster all season, and the odds are firmly stacked against them here. Mascherano’s men have gone unbeaten in two of their last three home clashes against the Washington club and are expected to continue that trend. Even without Suarez, the hosts have enough attacking potential in their ranks, with Messi teaming up with Tadeo Allende.
Regular left-back Jordi Alba has also been pushed forward into a winger role. Most importantly, Miami’s attention to detail in defense and midfield makes them almost impossible to break down. DC favor the vertical approach with occasional forays into the wings, but even the presence of Christian Benteke up front hasn’t rewarded them much this season.
Inter Miami CF vs DC United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Inter Miami to score the last goal
- Odds: -250 (20Bet)
We expect Miami to score the last goal in the match and seal the deal. Their short passes make them tough to disrupt in midfield, and the presence of ex-Barcelona star Sergio Busquets gives them some added heft. Busquets is known to tower over opposition midfielders with his positioning and passing skills.
Moreover, he knows exactly when to act as a shield in front of his defenders and when to pass the ball forward to drive the game for his team. A three-man midfield spread out across the park works wonders for the Herons, creating chances and setting things up for Messi, Alba, and Allende in the final third.
DC’s man-marking skills have been close to non-existent this season, and this is the vacuum that will allow Miami to slip through their grasp. Gabriel Pirani, who has created the most number of big chances for the Washington club in this campaign (6), is expected to carry much of DC’s creative burden in this matchup.
