Inter Miami will play host to Atlanta United at DRV PNK Stadium in Major League Soccer action on Saturday.
Inter Miami vs Atlanta United Preview
After a dream start to the new season, with two straight wins, Inter Miami’s campaign slumped into a nightmare, as they endured six back-to-back defeats. However, there appears to be some improvement following their victory over Miami FC in the US Open Cup and an away-league win over Columbus.
The Herons, who made it to the playoffs last season, will hope to build on those victories and keep pace with other teams in the Eastern Conference. They currently sit 12th on nine points with one game in hand. Coach Phil Neville had blamed their poor performance on injuries. However, up to four players remain sidelined.

The Five Stripes were defeated 3-1 by Nashville SC in their last league action days after losing to Memphis 901 in the US Open Cup. Head coach Gonzalo Pineda will hope to avoid a further setback in their push to establish a stranglehold in the Eastern Conference.
