The 2024 edition of MLS is back in action with another set of matches this week as Atlanta United lock horns with Gerardo Martino's Inter Miami side in an important clash at the Chase Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Atlanta United are in 12th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best over the past year. The away side slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Los Angeles FC last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have been impressive this season. The Herons edged Vancouver Whitecaps to a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
