DC United will take on Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS) at the Audi Field on Saturday. Lionel Messi and co. are atop the Eastern Conference standings but have played one more game than all the other teams. DC United are only two points behind the leaders and will be hoping to accumulate a winning run at the start of the campaign.
Inter Miami registered a 5-3 win on aggregate against Nashville in the quarter-final of the Concacaf Champions Cup and will be high on confidence heading into this fixture. DC United, on the other hand, began their new season with a win over New England but have since been held to back-to back draws.
