The MLS is back on track, and the Herons know it. Inter Miami will travel to their game against Charlotte FC at the Bank of America Stadium.
Without Luis Suarez, due to his suspension, Las Garzas must rely on other players to generate a similar threat to the one the Uruguayan striker posed against their rivals.
Inter Miami arrived after the CONCACAF released a new ranking. This could boost the team's performance, as they were ranked the best team among the other MLS clubs.
However, the main focus of the Herons should be tomorrow night against the Crown.
Join us for this Inter Miami vs Charlotte FC preview. In this article, we will discuss the latest news, provide information on how to watch the game, and present the predicted formation.

According to Sofascore, these would be the tenth time these two teams face each other. The head-to-head record is in the Herons’ favour.
Inter Miami won five times, while the Crown won only two games. The remainder of the encounters ended up in a draw. Las Garzas have the benefit that Charlotte hasn’t won a game against them in two years.
Their last victory was in 2023 at the stadium they will play tomorrow night.
The game will be available to watch on the MLS Season Pass and EA Sports FC.
Javier Mascherano confirms on this morning's training that Fafa Picault, David Ruiz, Allen Obando, and Baltasar Rodriguez are out of the game due to injuries.
On the other hand, Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul trained without any issues. Everything indicates that both players will start on Saturday night.
With Suarez’s absence, Mascherano could use a formation with Messi as a false nine. In the past, the Herons captain played in this position with Pep Guardiola at FC Barcelona.
Instead of using two strikers, Inter Miami’s coach may prefer using a 4-3-3 with Messi behind and Allende on the right wing.
Predicted Lineup: Ustari; Alba, Falcon, Lujan, Fray; De Paul, Busquets, Bright; Segovia, Messi, Allende.
Inter Miami must prepare to be an offensive squad. The Herons need to continue adding points to stay in the Supporters’ Shield race.
While Inter Miami boasts significant attacking strength, Charlotte also features a formidable lineup, with Zaha standing out as their key player.
