Inter Miami’s formidable attack has contributed to 45 of the team’s 57 goals this season. Messi leads the team, followed by Tadeo Allende and Telasco Segovia, each with seven goals.

This will be the 11th all-time meeting between Inter Miami and D.C. United, with Miami holding three wins compared to four losses and three draws. Inter Miami is unbeaten against D.C. in their last four encounters, securing two wins and two draws.

D.C. United comes into the match following a 1-1 draw at home against Orlando City SC. They currently sit 14th in the Eastern Conference standings.
