Inter Miami CF vs DC United Preview and Team News
Inter Miami CF Team News
Inter Miami needed to deliver a bounce-back performance following their 3-0 loss to Charlotte FC last weekend.
Not only did they achieve that, but they also avenged their 3-0 defeat to the Seattle Sounders in the 2025 Leagues Cup final. That victory snapped Miami’s two-game losing streak across all competitions, and they hadn’t recorded back-to-back losses since late April.
The end of the 2025 MLS regular season is approaching quickly, but the Herons control their own destiny. The club have three matches in hand on Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia Union, and since they sit eight points behind them, Miami simply need to win all of their pending fixtures to secure the top spot for the playoffs. That would grant them home-field advantage, so the team should be very motivated to achieve that goal.

Having won four of their last five encounters at Chase Stadium and with only two defeats at home in league play during the 2025 campaign, Inter Miami should be extremely confident about their chances of getting a positive result in this clash.
Even without Luis Suárez, who is suspended, the presence of Lionel Messi ensures they have the quality to keep their momentum going. The Argentine star bagged a goal in the win over the Sounders on Wednesday.
Inter Miami CF predicted lineup vs DC United (4-4-2): Ustari; Fray, Falcón, Luján, Allen; De Paul, Busquets, Bright, Jordi Alba; Allende, Messi.
DC United Team News
DC United find themselves in the opposite situation to Inter Miami. They sit in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings with a mere 25 points from 30 fixtures (W5, D10, L15), though their recent uptick in form shouldn’t be overlooked.
The Black and Red head to Miami on the heels of a season-long four-game undefeated streak (W1, D3), with their most recent outing ending in a 1-1 home draw with Orlando City SC.

Even if they’re undefeated in their last two road matches (W1, D1), it’s difficult to see DC United having the quality to get something out of this clash. The Washington-based club own the worst defensive record away from home in the Eastern Conference with 31 goals conceded in 15 encounters (2.06 per meeting) while finding the back of the net just 14 times (0.93). That’s far from being a recipe for success.
As if that wasn’t enough, DC United will be without two defensive pieces, as Matti Peltola and Lukas MacNaughton are both suspended.
Even though neither is a game-changer, the team can’t afford to give away any advantage on the road, especially against an offence led by Messi, who has 32 goal contributions in 2025 (G20, A12). United will need to be at their best to slow him down.
DC United predicted lineup vs Inter Miami CF (4-2-3-1): Barraza; Antley, Bartlett, Rowles, Schnegg; Enow, Servania; Gabriel Pirani, Peglow, Hopkins; Benteke.

Inter Miami CF vs DC United Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Inter Miami to win at HT
- Odds: -124 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Inter Miami CF 3-1 DC United
Inter Miami won’t be at full strength due to the absence of Suárez upfront, but Javier Mascherano’s men should have enough quality to breeze past the challenge of DC United.
With the Washington side being one of the worst defensive teams in MLS, and considering how strong the Herons have been at home, Miami are expected to establish their terms early on and control the tempo right from kick-off.

Given that the Black and Red are missing some regulars in defence, it’s difficult to imagine them holding out for long.
Mascherano’s squad have led at halftime in eight of their 13 home matches this season, converting seven of those into victories. By contrast, DC United have trailed at halftime in seven of their 15 away fixtures. The stage is set for Inter to grab the lead before the break.
Inter Miami CF vs DC United Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – yes
- Odds: -134 (Tonybet)
Four of DC United’s last five away matches have seen both teams scoring, while five of Inter Miami’s previous six home games in MLS have followed the same pattern. If expanding the spectrum to all competitions, then nine of the Herons’ last 11 have featured goals from both sides. That trend should continue here, as neither the hosts nor the visitors are known for their defensive prowess.
