Head-to-Head Record

Inter Miami have an eye-catching record against D.C. United, having won each of the last two head-to-head meetings. That includes a 1-0 home success earlier this season. United’s last win against Inter was achieved on the road in June 2023.

Match Preview

It has been a busy week for the star-studded Inter Miami roster, as they secured their spot in the final four of the Leagues Cup in midweek after beating Tigres UANL at Chase Stadium. Lionel Messi was ruled out for that clash, but Luis Suarez stepped up to net both goals in the win.

Messi is unlikely to be risked this weekend ahead of a crucial Leagues Cup semi-final next week. Inter come into this round in relatively solid form, as they also recorded a 3-1 success in the MLS last weekend after overcoming LA Galaxy. It is also worth noting that Inter have won half of their matches on the road this season, scoring an average of 2.17 goals per game.

D.C. United have tamely dropped out of contention in the race for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They come into this round of matches having gone eleven matches without a victory across all competitions. However, it is worth noting that they were more impressive in a recent draw against Montreal last weekend.

But, victories have been in short supply throughout 2025, winning just 15% of their fixtures at Audi Field. Scoring goals has been their biggest issue, as they have netted just 0.85 per game. However, they have been defensively stronger in home matches, keeping clean sheets in 25% of their matchups.
