Inter Miami vs Charlotte FC Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | MLS 2026

The previous outing between these clubs ended in a goalless draw!

Inter Miami will now have a face-off against Charlotte FC for their Round 34 fixture in the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS). The Nu Stadium is all set to witness this interesting clash.

Inter Miami are once again back to winning ways with their 2-1 victory against New England Revolution in their last league outing. They were down by a goal but made a strong comeback to secure three points in the end. The Herons will now look to extend their winning run with second place on the MLS points table.

The Kily Gonzalez-led side will be at home, and it is going to be one of their advantages. They must control the game from the start and should not allow many chances to their opponents.

Charlotte FC have now secured consecutive wins in their last two Major League Soccer matches. They first secured a 4-0 win against CF Montreal and then secured a victory with a similar scoreline against Orlando City.

The Crown will look to extend their winning run moving forward, but being away from home can cause some issues for them. Dean Smith’s men have been performing well and are now in fifth place on the Eastern Conference points table.
