Why you should back Inter Miami 

The Herons, who are 5-2-1 at home and unbeaten in the last five games on their pitch (3-2-0), own the best goal differential in MLS at plus-17 and have two of the top four scorers in the league. Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez is tied for second with 11 goals in his first season with the club after spending 2023 with Gremio of Brazil’s Serie A and Argentinian superstar Lionel Messi is fourth with 10. The 36-year-old Messi, who also leads MLS with 12 assists, has gone back-to-back league matches without a goal after converting in seven straight.

Inter Miami has been receiving offensive contributions from Leonardo Campana of late. The 23-year-old Ecuadorian forward endured a six-game dry spell before scoring the lone goal in the club’s 1-0 victory against DC United and also tallied in Saturday’s 2-1 triumph at Vancouver. Campana also provided all of the Herons’ offense in their 5-2 loss at Atlanta last season. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Atlanta United 

The Five Stripes could be without top scorer Giorgos Giakoumakis (five goals), who also missed the side’s 1-0 loss to LAFC on Saturday with a strained hamstring. If the Greek striker is unavailable, Atlanta will look for offense from Argentinian midfielder Thiago Almada, who returned to the lineup last weekend after being sidelined for a game with a calf injury. The 23-year-old Almada is tied with Senegalese striker Jamal Thiare for second on the squad with three goals.

Almada has notched just one assist this season but is one of the top set-up men in MLS as he led the league with 19 last year. Winger Brooks Lennon has yet to convert this campaign but tops the Five Stripes with four assists. The 26-year-old native of Arizona scored a career-high four goals in 2023, including one in Atlanta’s victory against Inter Miami. Georgian midfielder Saba Lobjanidze has netted a pair of goals and added three assists in his second season with Atlanta. See which team to pick here.
