The key detail Inter Miami can't ignore ahead of Saturday's clash | OneFootball

Following a devastating loss to the Seattle Sounders in the Leagues Cup final, Inter Miami is now focused on finishing the MLS season in the best possible way.

Due to the altercation on the final, Luis Suarez was given a three-match ban - meaning that he will not be available until the New York FC game. However, Lionel Messi returned to training after his game with Argentina.

Nevertheless, Inter Miami faced a Charlotte FC on the rise, and one detail should have worried Javier Mascherano.

Charlotte FC is currently on an eight-game winning streak

Many teams have different ways of finishing a season. Some of them fall behind, while others improve their form and win their last games, positioning higher in the table.

This is the case of Charlotte FC. The Crown is having an outstanding end of the season, arriving at the Bank of America Stadium without losing their last eight games.

The squad is currently sitting in third place, three positions and six points ahead of Inter Miami. Winning this clash would mean the Herons are moving up the rankings and would conquer a playoff spot.

Not only that, but with a victory, Miami would be closer to a back-to-back Supporters’ Shield title.

Las Garzas don’t have an easy schedule. Next week, they’ll face the Sounders. A triumph on Saturday night could boost the team’s morale for the crucial match against the Seattle Sounders.

However, this will not be easy. Charlotte FC has been playing an impressive brand of football and is just two wins away from breaking an MLS all-time record.

The good news for Inter Miami is that the Crown hasn’t captured a victory against the Herons since 2023. While it may seem insignificant, this detail could provide the players with a much-needed boost of confidence.

Inter Miami desperately needs a win to keep its MLS Cup hopes alive. After the Argentina vs. Venezuela match, Lionel Messi addressed the situation, expressing his determination and belief that the team can capture the trophy.
