Charlotte FC vs Inter Miami Preview and Team News

Charlotte FC Team News

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Charlotte FC are going through their best form in franchise history. 

After being eliminated from the 2025 Leagues Cup in the initial stage, the team bounced back with four straight wins in MLS and three clean sheets. That’s not all, however, as the Crown had also recorded four straight wins before that tournament, so that’s eight league wins in a row.

Charlotte have enjoyed fast starts regularly during their current winning streak and broken the deadlock before the half-time break in each of their previous three MLS contests. With five shutouts during that eight-game winning run, their defensive play has also been stellar, especially in a league that’s extremely scoring-friendly.

Bursting with confidence and on the verge of making history, Charlotte should be confident about their chances here. The club are one win away from matching the league’s longest winning streak since the Seattle Sounders in 2018, which stands as a record in the post-shootout era after 1999. 

However, they’ll have to look for that ninth straight victory without Pep Biel. The star playmaker is out with a hamstring injury.

Charlotte FC predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (4-2-3-1): Kahlina; Marshall-Rutty, Malanda, Ream, Byrne; Diani, Westwood; Vargas, Bronico, Zaha; Toklomati.

Inter Miami Team News

Inter Miami will be looking to bounce back from an ugly 0-3 loss to the Seattle Sounders in the 2025 Leagues Cup, but they can take comfort in their strong league form. 

Despite a recent 4-1 loss to Orlando City SC in MLS play, the Herons have put together a solid run of W5, D2, L2 since the end of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Their involvement in the Club World Cup and their deep run in the Leagues Cup have given Inter Miami a level of intensity rarely seen in MLS. On top of that, they happen to have Lionel Messi as their key player, alongside a collection of talent that no other team can boast. 

Messi has been sensational once again and racked up a league-leading 30 goal contributions (19 goals, 11 assists) across 19 appearances.

Inter Miami will have to prepare for this fixture without Luis Suárez. The star forward received a three-game suspension due to an incident in the Leagues Cup final. Aside from his absence, they should field a strong squad, with the likes of Messi, Jordi Alba, Rodrigo De Paul, and Sergio Busquets leading the way.

Inter Miami predicted lineup vs Charlotte FC (4-3-3): Ustari; Fray, Falcón, Luján, J. Alba; Bright, Busquets, De Paul; Messi, Allende, Segovia.

Charlotte FC vs Inter Miami Prediction, Odds

Charlotte are on the verge of making history and should be confident about their chances of tying that record at home. However, they’ll be missing a key player in Biel, and it’s not like they’ve had an easy time facing Inter Miami in the past. 

The Herons won their previous head-to-head meeting this season and remain undefeated in their last three against the North Carolina side (W2, D1).

Even though Inter Miami will be without Suárez, they’ll have Messi running the show, and opposing defences in the MLS have yet to discover how to slow the Argentine superstar down. 

As good as Charlotte have been defensively, teams in MLS aren’t used to dealing with the Herons’ offensive firepower. Moreover, Mascherano’s men have been playing well in recent weeks despite losing the Leagues Cup final.

It won’t be a walk in the park for Inter Miami, but at the end of the day, the absence of Pep Biel in midfield and the lack of defensive quality to stop the opposing attack will likely be two hurdles the Crown won’t be able to overcome. It’ll probably end up being a tight game that will be decided late in the second half, but Miami should have enough to secure all three points and crush Charlotte’s dreams of making history.

Charlotte FC vs Inter Miami Betting Tip

Three of their previous four head-to-head meetings have ended with under 2.5 total goals, and only two of those encounters saw both teams score. However, that trend could end here. 

Charlotte might not have the quality to hold down Inter Miami’s attack, and the Herons tend to struggle defensively since they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches across all competitions.

With that in mind, a scenario in which both sides find the back of the net seems entirely plausible. With Charlotte’s record on the line and both clubs vying to improve their standings in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, neither are expected to adopt a conservative approach. 

That should boost the chances of this game seeing at least three goals – something that has happened in eight of Miami’s last nine contests across the board.
