Our prediction for this MLS match:
A game between DC United and Inter Miami will bring down the curtain on Sunday’s program in the Major League Soccer. DC United are having yet another nightmare season, with the team beating stuck at the bottom with only 27 points in their account. Since the capital club have little to play for against Inter Miami, we are not tempted to put our money on the home side. All Fountas, Hines-Ike, Smith, Hamid, and Perez are sidelined with injuries for the hosts.
The Herons, on the other hand, picked up vital three points from Wednesday’s clash against Columbus Crew to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Gonzalo Higuain, who scored a brace in the midweek triumph, will be the man to watch in the away side, and we predict that the Italy ace will help the visitors emerge triumphant in the Audi Field showdown. The visitors will be without Brek Shea, Robbie Robinson, and Ian Fray in Sunday’s encounter.
