Preview: Charlotte FC vs Inter Miami Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2026

The Crown dominated the proceedings when they last faced the Herons.
Charlotte FC are all set to lock horns with Inter Miami CF for their round 4 contest of the 2026 Major League Soccer. The Bank of America Stadium will witness an interesting contest between these clubs.
The Crown are coming in after bagging a 3-1 win against Austin FC in their last MLS fixture. It was a good performance by them and they will be keen to keep the momentum with them. Charlotte FC have won one of their first three league games. Even though they will be at home for their next outing, it is not going to be an easy one for them.
Inter Miami CF have secured back-to-back wins in their last two Major League Soccer outings and will be eager to extend their winning run. They were held to a goalless draw by Nashville SC in their Concacaf Champions Cup game. The Herons will not be looking to make similar mistakes against the Crown now.

Players to Watch
Pep Biel (Charlotte FC)
Pep Biel is coming in after netting a sensational brace for Charlotte FC in their previous league outing. He led his team to an easy win and will once again be looking to help his side. Biel can control the midfield well and is also capable of scoring goals. He must utilise every chance against the Herons.
Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)

Lionel Messi failed to produce magic in his previous appearance for Inter Miami, but he is still going to be one of the main men in the final third for his side.
