Here, check out the match information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch the game in the US.

The Herons head to this clash under pressure to secure their first victory at home this year. Phil Neville's stint hasn't begun in the best way, as his side hasn't shown the expected progress from last season and is still struggling to perform at its highest level.

On the other hand, the team from the capital city hasn't been doing well either. Hernán Losada's boys lost all their away matches so far, and their recent record at home has been poor as well. Which of these two sides will bounce back in this game?

Inter Miami vs DC United: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Last weekend, Inter Miami were shocked by Chicago Fire at Soldier Field stadium. The team from the Windy City haven't won until that game, putting The Herons in the eye of the storm for dropping points against a weakened side.

Meanwhile, DC United were beaten by Philadelphia Union at Audi Field and recorded their fifth defeat in the tournament. Losada's side now travels to Miami hoping to win an away game for the first time this year, although the hosts' need for the three points won't make it easy.

This will be the second meeting between these two teams, as Inter Miami joined the league last year. In their lone duel so far, DC United claimed the 2-1 win in Washington.
