DC United sit rock-bottom of the Eastern Conference and have registered just one point from their previous six appearances. The team has collected only two points from their last nine MLS outings, a rut stretching back to June 1st. Their US Open Cup run ended in a 5-2 defeat by Nashville and recent home matches include a 4-2 loss to Austin. They have failed to keep a single MLS clean sheet at Audi Field since the start of May. Inter Miami clinched a Leagues Cup semi-final spot with a 2-1 win over Tigres and have won five of their last six matches across competitions. Inter Miami won 3-1 in their last MLS trip to Washington and hold a favorable recent head-to-head record.
Likewise, the Eagles have managed to claim just a pair of points from any of their last nine consecutive MLS outings - a rut that stems back to June 1st. Watching their US Open Cup adventure come to a thumping end on July 10th as they fell to an action-packed 5-2 defeat against Nashville, DC United have also gained a reputation for their glaring issues on home soil. Last seen at Audi Field getting hit with a 4-2 loss at the hands of Austin, Weiler's side have failed to muster a single MLS clean sheet in Washington since the start of May.
As for the visitors, punching their Leagues Cup semi-final spot earlier in the week as they clinched a 2-1 victory at home against Mexican giants Tigres, Inter Miami are enjoying what has become another purple patch. Still looking to defend their Eastern Conference crown this season, Javier Mascherano's superstar squad will be confident of making another statement here. Last seen in MLS action securing what was a routine 3-1 win against LA Galaxy, the Herons have won five of their previous six appearances across all competitions.
