Our prediction for this MLS match:
Atlanta United will look to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer. The first half of the season has been a mixed bag for the Five Stripes, who occupy 11th place in the standings ahead of Sunday’s clash. Thiago Almada is banned for the match, while all Andrew Gutman, Miles Robinson, Brad Guzan, Dylan Castanheira, Osvaldo Alonso, and Machop Chol continue to miss out with injuries.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over New York Red Bulls and Portland Timbers. The visitors aim to climb to the playoffs berth, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. As for the visiting side, all Nick Marsman, Brek Shea, and Ian Fray are out of contention through injuries.
