DC United and Inter Miami will square off at Audi Field in MLS Eastern Conference action on Sunday.
DC United have been eliminated from contention for a playoff berth and will be looking to sign off for the season on a winning note. They saw their three-game unbeaten streak come to an end in their previous outing as they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Sporting Kansas City.
Inter Miami are still in the race to book a place in the playoffs and returned to winning ways after three consecutive defeats last time around. Gonzalo Higuaín's brace helped them to a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew on Tuesday.
They have four games left to play and if they can avoid dropping points in those games, they will be able to comfortably ensure a spot in the playoffs.

DC United vs Inter Miami Prediction
DC United's goalscoring woes are expected to continue in this game and, with their playoff hopes already over, Wayne Rooney might experiment with his squad here.
Inter Miami have been inconsistent this term, but with the playoffs berth at stake, they are expected to put in a solid display in this game. Miami are expected to capitalize on the hosts' struggles and we back them to eke out a narrow win.
