Inter Miami vs Atlanta United prediction, preview, team news and more | MLS 2020
The MLS regular season is back in action tomorrow as David Beckham's Inter Miami hosts a resurgent Atlanta United side at the Miami Freedom Park. The home side is in desperate need of a victory and faces a daunting challenge against Atlanta United.
Atlanta United failed to win a single group match in the 'MLS is Back' tournament but picked up a much-needed victory against Nashville over the weekend. The away team is in seventh place in the MLS Eastern Conference table and can potentially move into the top four with a victory tomorrow.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, is firmly rooted to the bottom of the MLS table and needs to get back to winning ways to make an impact on the competition. The Florida-based side pipped Orlando to an exhilarating victory last week and will look to build on its momentum against Atlanta United.
