Inter Miami vs Atlanta United Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Lionel Messi is set to make his MLS playoffs debut

Atalanta United won 5-4 on penalties against Montréal on the final matchday of the regular MLS season. This victory means that they will face the 2024 Supporters Shield winners, Inter Miami in MLS 2024 Playoffs. It will be a ‘best of three’ series. The first and third games will be held in Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium while the second encounter will take place in Atalanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atalanta United will face their former manager Tata Martino who led them to their first-ever title in 2018. ] Miami surprised everyone this season with their incredible performances. They accumulated 74 points throughout the campaign and broke the record for the most points collected in a season after their 6-2 win against the New England Revolution.

This will be the first time we will see the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba in the MLS playoffs. We see a lot of goals whenever these two teams face each other and fans will be hoping that the upcoming three matches will be no exception.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami CF)

Lionel Messi is currently in his best goalscoring form since making a move to Miami from Paris Saint Germain last summer. He is coming into this game after scoring back-to-back hat-tricks against Bolivia and the New England Revolution. Like always, all eyes will be on him to lead the Herons over the line against the five stripes.

Brad Guzan (Atlanta United)

The Goalkeeper is one of the best performers for Atlanta United this season. Despite being 40 years old, the American has shown incredible reflexes and has made some massive saves. Considering the attacking threat Inter Miami possesses, Brad Guzan will be given the responsibility of keeping his team in the game.
