Atlanta United vs. Inter Miami: Momentum Shift Analysis
In the realm of Major League Soccer (MLS), a highly anticipated clash is on the horizon as Atlanta United prepares to take on Inter Miami in the 29th round of the 2023 season. GOATX delves into squad updates, expected line-ups, bookmaker odds, and score predictions to provide insights into this thrilling encounter.
Assessing the Form of Atlanta United vs. Inter Miami
Atlanta United has been struggling to find its rhythm in recent times. Over their last eight matches, they’ve managed to secure only two victories, suffering defeats in five others. Even on their home turf, Atlanta United’s performance has been inconsistent, with two wins and two losses in their last five matches. This lack of consistency makes it challenging to believe in a victory against the team currently holding the best record in the United States.
Since Lionel Messi’s debut for Inter Miami, the team has remained undefeated. This trend has persisted even during Messi’s absence while representing the Argentine national team. In their recent triumph against Sporting Kansas City, Inter Miami displayed resilience by overcoming an early deficit. However, playing away from home in MLS presents a different challenge. With Messi on board, Inter Miami has won both of their recent away matches in the league. However, in their previous six away games, they suffered five losses and secured one draw.
