INTER MIAMI are aiming to extend their lead at the top of the Eastern Conference as they travel to Charlotte for an MLS fixture. Miami have done some really good work on their recent travels and should have the upper hand on Thursday.
Charlotte have done some good work lately having suffered just one defeat in their last five matches. However, that defeat came in their previous fixture as they were beaten 1-0 at Houston Dynamo.
Having been on the road in the last two matches, Charlotte are returning to the Bank of America Stadium. However, Dean Smith’s men have been a bit erratic at home, with three wins from their last six matches in front of their fans.
Inter Miami are showing no signs of slowing down as they sit two points clear at the top of the Eastern Conference. They have won their last three matches, including a 2-1 victory at Nashville in their previous fixture.
The victory at Nashville highlights an impressive away record for Inter Miami, who continue to impress despite missing key players like Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. Gerardo Martino’s men are unbeaten in their last seven matches, claiming five wins in that run.
