The 2024 edition of MLS returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as DC United take on Inter Miami at the Chase Stadium on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
DC United are in eighth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side slumped to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of New York Red Bulls last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have been impressive this season. The Herons were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Orlando City in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
