Inter Miami return to action in Major League Soccer when they go head-to-head with Atlanta United on Sunday. This will be the first meeting since their thrilling playoff encounter last November when Ronny Deila’s men secured a dramatic 5-3 aggregate victory.
Atlanta United were guilty of a wasteful display in front of goal last time out when they played to a goalless draw against New York Red Bulls at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Before that, Deila’s side kicked off the 2025 MLS season with a narrow 3-2 victory over CF Montreal on February 23, one week before losing 2-0 at the hands of Charlotte FC.
Atlanta United head into the weekend unbeaten in their last four competitive home games, claiming three wins and one draw, and will be looking to extend this impressive run.
Having missed three consecutive matches, Lionel Messi returned to the pitch in style as he found the back of the net in the 92nd minute to help Inter Miami to a 2-0 victory over Cavalier on Friday and complete a 4-0 aggregate win over the Jamaican outfit in their AFC Champions League clash.
Javier Mascherano’s men now turn their sights to MLS, where they kicked off the season with a thrilling 2-2 draw against New York City FC before claiming consecutive victories over Houston Dynamo and Charlotte FC.
Inter Miami head into the weekend on a five-game winning streak and are unbeaten in their seven games across all competitions this season, claiming six wins and one draw so far.
