The MLS returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Minnesota United take on Inter Miami at the DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday.
Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will be determined to win this game.
Inter Miami vs Minnesota United Preview
Minnesota United are currently in 11th place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of New England Revolution last week and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
Inter Miami are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference league table at the moment and have also encountered their fair share of problems this year. The Herons suffered a 2-0 defeat against Atlanta United in their previous game and will aim to bounce back this weekend.

Inter Miami vs Minnesota United Prediction
Inter Miami have shown flashes of improvement over the past month but are yet to justify their potential in the MLS. The likes of DeAndre Yedlin and Gonzalo Higuain are seasoned campaigners and will be expected to bring their experience to the fore this weekend.
Minnesota United have struggled so far this season and will need to make amends in this fixture. Inter Miami are the better team at the moment and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
