Atlanta United will play its final away match of the season against Inter Miami CF at Chase Stadium. The match, originally set for late June, was rescheduled due to Inter Miami’s participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Both teams will be missing several regular starters because of the October international break, which may give other players a chance to play more prominent roles.
The team will rely on contributions from less frequently used players, including Cayman Togashi, Leo Afonso, Dominik Chong Qui, and Cooper Sanchez. These players may have opportunities to play in the starting lineup or come off the bench. Atlanta United will need a strong team effort to secure a positive result against an Inter Miami team that is still competing for playoff seeding and home field advantage.
Inter Miami has one of the most productive offenses in the league, having scored 72 goals so far this season with two matches remaining. Last season, they led the league with 79 goals. Lionel Messi, who has scored 24 goals and provided 17 assists in 26 matches, is the central figure in Miami’s attack but is expected to miss the match due to international duty with Argentina. Other Miami players, such as Tadeo Allende, who recently scored his 11th goal, and Luis Suarez, are also offensive threats that Atlanta’s defense will need to manage.
Set pieces have been a significant source of goals for Atlanta United this season, accounting for 27% of the team’s total goals, which is the fifth-highest percentage in Major League Soccer. The team also ranks fifth in goals scored from headers, with nine so far this year. With changes expected in the lineup, set pieces may play an important role in Atlanta’s strategy for this match.
The match is scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Fans can watch on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV or listen on Sports Radio 92.9 The Game (English) or La Mejor – AM 1600 (Spanish).
