DC United vs Inter Miami Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips | MLS 24 Aug 2025
This game is set to match D.C. United’s struggles under René Weiler against Inter Miami’s tune-up by Javier Mascherano. United drew 1-1 with Montreal thanks to Jackson Hopkins, and given that, they have not been able to register a single win in over 10 league games now. Miami had a 3-1 win over the Galaxy and proceeded to get the better of Tigres in the Leagues Cup. Messi and Alba are being managed to stay fit. United are expected to play directly at Benteke upfront. Miami will keep possession, using Suárez and the rest to create chances. Small moments—late goals, a set piece, or solid defending—could end up deciding this one.

Being bottom in the East is the status of D.C. United after a slumping season. They had a 1–1 draw with CF Montréal that only marginally pumped their spirits as they are yet to win their tenth league match. That is when Jackson Hopkins scored his maiden MLS goal; a rare highlight amid a discouraging year. Heavy reliance is being placed on Benteke, who has been the top scorer and main target for United. Almost all their attacks revolve around either crossing to Benteke or hitting him with long passes. It is the defense that poses the most significant problem. They concede too many goals and struggle to stay resilient when pressed. Players like Schnegg and Peltola try to shield the back line, but the gaps still appear. René Weiler is trying to get the team more compact, but the levels of confidence are low. At home, United must sharpen up; they need to be better at set pieces and must never give away cheap errors if they want to compete with Miami.
D.C. United Lineup
🔁 Predicted Lineup: Luis Barraza; Conner Antley, Kye Rowles, David Schnegg; Matti Peltola, Brandon Servania; Jackson Hopkins, Gabriel Pirani, Jared Stroud; Christian Benteke.
🚑 Injuries/Suspension: Randall Leal, Hosei Kijima, João Peglow, Kristian Fletcher

Inter Miami CF: form and statistics
Inter Miami appears to be in fine form and looks like one of the strongest teams in the East. After pounding the LA Galaxy 3–1 last weekend, often Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez being decisive in the second half, they also gained the Semifinals spot in the Leagues Cup after another battle versus Tigres, showing resilience in tight knockout football. Mascherano has managed to build a very balanced team. Sergio Busquets holds the possession in midfield, while Benjamin Cremaschi is the battery of the team with energy and pressing. Luis Suárez leads the attack with ferocious finishing, getting help from the wide players such as Allende and Picault. Messi is being preserved for fitness, while Jordi Alba is still recovering and could be rested. The defense lately is improving; Falcón and Luján are beginning to gel well in the center. While they can get vulnerable on the road, their scoring prowess usually compensates. Against D.C. United, their game plan will be to hold the ball and get on the scoreboard early.
Inter Miami CF Lineup
