Inter Miami host Atlanta United at Nu Stadium on Saturday, September 5 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n
Inter Miami have no injury absences to report, and the front line picks itself: Lionel Messi, who has scored 17 goals this season, plus Luis Su\u00e1rez (11 goals) and Germ\u00e1n Berterame (7 goals) look set to lead the attack. Atlanta United also have a fully available squad, with Aleksey Miranchuk (5 goals, 38 chances created) their most productive outlet and Miguel Almir\u00f3n (3 goals, 34 chances created) adding a second scoring threat.<\/p>\n
The gap in this fixture is defensive as much as anything: Atlanta United have shipped enough goals to sit at -13 on goal difference, while Inter Miami’s +15 mark points to a team that scores freely and rarely stays quiet at the back. Miami’s 7-1 win over CF Montreal last time out showed exactly what this front line can do at Nu Stadium, and Atlanta’s underlying numbers suggest they’ll find the net too, just not often enough to keep pace.<\/p>\n\n\n
