Mensah and Hurtado gave the visitors a comfortable lead which was halved by Dwyer, but not enough to enforce a result.
This continued Atlanta’s poor run of form as they are winless since the start of May, being winless in their last 4 matches across competitions.
The hosts are in 11th place on the league table with 16 points from 13 matches.
On the other hand, Inter Miami beat Portland 2-1 in their previous clash as Campana and Taylor found the net for the hosts.

This win pushed Inter Miami to 9th in the league table with 18 points from 14 matches.
While the hosts haven’t kept a clean-sheet in their last 7 matches, Inter Miami have scored 7 goals in their previous 5 matches.
A leaky defence vs quality attack sets this clash up on a knife edge.
Both teams last met in April, where Inter Miami won 2-1 at home.

Prediction: Atlanta United 2-1 Inter Miami
Recent results suggest a win for Inter Miami as they are the more in-form team. However, the visitors are poor travellers this season having won just 1 of their 6 matches played.
Meanwhile, Atlanta has a good home record this season picking up 12 points from 7 matches.
The return of Martinez plays a big part in their success and can help them last the distance. We expect a competitive clash but see the hosts edging this one by the odd goal.
