Inter Miami has been fast to impress this season, currently topping the Eastern Conference table with 34 points. The eight league games between the two teams have seen Burnley win seven. That is a far cry from the team that crawled through last season and the Sunderland supporters have a new lease of life.
Inter Miami
This past form from the last five league games is impressive to say the least. Their win in their latest match came as a 2-1 result against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Robert Taylor and Leonardo Campana netted the opener on 38 minutes before adding a second in the 54th minute for Jorge Martinez Gonzalez Garcia side. Vancouver pulled one back in the 72nd minute, but Inter Miami held on for the win. They won 49% of the possession in total, hit three big chances, took just five corners and had six shots on target.
Atlanta United
This very much improves the hope for Atlanta United, due to the fact that they have not won in their last nine league matches. The absence of a win for the last time at Chicago Fire — 3–0 (away) on March isn’t good, and currently sitting in 12th place with just 13 points.
Last year’s champs lost at home to LAFC. The match ended with both teams reduced to ten men as Atlanta’s goalkeeper Brad Guzan was shown a red card in the 63rd minute before Los Angeles’ Eduard Atuesta got his marching orders in the 81st. Atlanta had 63% of the possession but created only one big chance and managed just five shots on target from five corner kicks.
Head-to-Head
Tuesday’s game is the 12th between the sides, with each having won five games from those previous meetings — three have ended in draws.
Analysis and Predictions
Recent performances certainly suggest that Inter Miami can take this game and are indeed the front runners at a venue in which they carry home advantage. Also, stand by for Lionel Messi’s first match of the season following that Vancouver Whitecaps clash.
