Inter Miami will play host to FC Dallas at DRV PNK Stadium in Major League Soccer action on Saturday.
Inter Miami vs Dallas FC Preview
Inter Miami’s dire form is cause for concern as the FC Dallas clash looms. The hosts have lost their last four matches - one at home and three away – conceding seven goals against two. They have won twice in six outings and sit 17th with six points in the overall standings. Their last meeting with Dallas ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Herons finished 12th in the overall table last season and made it to the playoffs but crashed out in the first round. Inter Miami appear to have been diminished by early injuries, with half a dozen players still unavailable for selection, including captain Gregore.
The visitors have endured a mixed start to the season, winning twice, drawing twice, and losing twice in six games. Nevertheless, FC Dallas sit just outside the top 10, in the 11th spot, level on eight points with New York City and Orlando City. They are yet to record an away win this season.
The Hoops had a relatively successful season last year, finishing seventh overall. They qualified for the playoffs but were dumped out in the semifinals. Jesús Ferreira, who led the side with 18 goals last season, is eying a similar feat this term after netting thrice.
