Prior to that loss, the Florida club drew 2-2 with San Diego, 2-2 with Nashville SC, 1-1 at Chicago Fire, and 2-2 against Atlanta United FC.

They sit third in the Eastern Conference with 46 points from 27 games, having scored 64 goals and allowed 50. Leading scorer Lionel Messi has 20 goals in all competitions, but the hosts will be without Santiago Morales through suspension and Tadeo Allende through injury.
DC United travel with seven draws from twelve away trips

Their away record shows two wins, seven draws, and three defeats from 12 outings, scoring 16 and conceding 17. Their most recent fixture ended in a 3-3 draw away at Vancouver Whitecaps on 27 September 2026.

DC United have created 1.83 expected goals per game over their last five matches while allowing 1.24.
Inter Miami hold four wins from their last five meetings
Recent history tilts toward the hosts, who have won four of the last five meetings between the sides. Inter Miami took a 2-1 victory away at DC United on 7 March 2026. That followed a 3-2 home win on 20 September 2025, a 1-1 draw on 23 August 2025, a 1-0 win on 18 May 2024, and a 3-1 triumph on 16 March 2024.

Our model firmly expects an Inter Miami win
Our model firmly expects an Inter Miami win. That assessment relies heavily on head-to-head dominance, with Inter Miami winning four of the last five encounters, including the 2-1 victory in March. Although Inter Miami are winless in five matches and have conceded 2.12 expected goals per game recently, DC United have managed only two away wins from 12 attempts this season.
