FC Dallas vs Inter Miami prediction, preview, team news and more | MLS 2020
The MLS is back in action this week with an interesting fixture as David Beckham's Inter Miami outfit take on FC Dallas at the Toyota Stadium. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove on Wednesday.
Inter Miami are currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings and have been galvanised by the acquisitions of Blaise Matuidi and Gonzalo Higuain. The Florida-based outfit still has plenty of work to do as far as its squad is concerned and will look to pick up a victory in this game.
FC Dallas have enjoyed a fairly positive season and are currently in sixth place in the MLS Western Conference table. The Texas side was held to a 0-0 stalemate by Real Salt Lake in its previous game and will want to bounce back in this fixture.
