Inter Miami host Charlotte FC at Nu Stadium on Saturday, November 7 (4:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM CT / 1:00 PM PT).
Inter Miami have no fresh fitness concerns to report, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez both in line to lead the line at Nu Stadium. Messi has 25 goals from 175 shots this season, with Suárez adding 16 of his own. That pairing is the clearest reason Miami sit third in the East. Charlotte FC also have a clean bill of health, and Idan Giorno and Pep Biel look set to carry the away attack — Giorno has 15 goals, while Biel’s 13 goals and 63 chances created make him the side’s chief creative outlet.
Both sides arrive well placed for the stretch run. Inter Miami are third in the East on 56 points from 32 games, while Charlotte sit fourth on 53 points from 33, firmly in the playoff picture themselves. Miami’s +20 goal difference points to the deeper attacking threat. Recent form backs it up too — three wins, a draw and a defeat in their last five matches. That run included a 4-0 win over DC United and a 3-1 victory at Atlanta United, either side of a 2-0 loss at New York Red Bulls and a 2-2 home draw with Cincinnati. Charlotte have found similar momentum, winning their last two in emphatic fashion. Those victories came 4-0 over CF Montreal and 4-0 over Orlando City, following defeats to Columbus Crew and Portland Timbers and a draw at Philadelphia Union.
