Inter Miami CF vs Atlanta United prediction, preview, team news and more | MLS 2020
Inter Miami host Atlanta United in an MLS clash on Wednesday night, with the hosts looking for another win to continue what has been a decent run of form for them.
They have won their last two matches, marking the first time that they have won consecutive games as an MLS franchise, with the additions of Blaise Matuidi and Gonzalo Higuain bringing them some much-needed confidence.
Inter Miami continue to remain in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, and outside the playoff spots, but they will be quietly confident of mounting a late challenge to finish within a spot that gives them a chance of playing the post-season in their debut MLS campaign.
Atlanta United have not managed to hit anywhere near the standards of last year, and are 10th in the Eastern Conference. They are just a point ahead of Inter Miami, and risk being leapfrogged by their opponents if they lose Wednesday night's match.

Inter Miami have the proverbial wood over Atlanta United this season. Given that there really isn't much to choose between the two sides in terms of table position, that psychological advantage could be big for Inter Miami.
Also, they have won their last two games, and will be high on confidence, so we are going with a narrow Inter Miami win in this game.
