An undefeated D.C. United will host the MLS-leading Inter Miami in a Week 5 game. Match will begin on Saturday, March 16, at 7 PM CET.
D.C. United
One of the most successful MLS clubs in history, D.C. United have recently struggled to taste its former glory.
Four time champions have not been past the first round in playoffs since 2015, missing the postseason cut altogether in the last four campaigns. This year, however, the Black-and-Red started strong with 5 points in three opening matches, so maybe the nation's capital will be represented in the playoffs bracket once again.
Inter Miami
One of the youngest franchises in MLS, Inter Miami filled the media headlines for years, be it due to their legal battles for a chance to build a stadium, signing deals with megaplayers or not performing to the expected standards.
Saying all that, Inter have never been past the round one in playoffs, despite last season’s victory in Leagues Cup, but will seek a change this year. Team from Florida opened with 7 points in four games in MLS, eliminated Nashville SC to advance to the CONCACAF Champions cup quarter finals and will now go on the road to Washington.
Prediction ⚽️
While the biggest star in the game, Lionel Messi might not dress up after an injury against Nashville on Wednesday, it might give D.C. United a chance to enter the game as home favorites.
Sportsbooks tend to agree, putting their faith into an attack-oriented team from the capital, but we will go the other way and bet on the overall goals scored over 3.5 with 2.38 odds 🔥.
