The story so far in the Major League Soccer for Inter Miami at their home stadium (Inter Miami CF Stadium) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. Inter Miami are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Inter Miami CF Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.
Inter enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Columbus Crew's place. The match ended 2-1 with Campana (2) scoring. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, six games in a row. Callender loved the game against Columbus Crew. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-1 victory. Attacking player Campana outshone all others in that match and was awarded a match rating of 8.14 out of 10. Campana scored two goals.
In the match before, 2-2 away to Miami FC II (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) (US Open Cup). This is expected to be a close game, with Inter Miami perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Inter Miami as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Inter Miami has won 10 of these, drawn 1 and lost 5.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Inter as they have a new game in only three days, a US Open Cup match thankfully also at home. Charleston Battery are visiting.
