The sides’ last meeting on August 23 ended in a 1-1 draw with Jackson Hopkins opening the scoring for United before Baltasar Rodriguez’s 64th-minute equaliser.
Inter Miami is currently placed sixth in the Eastern Conference Standings with 49 points in 27 games, while its opponent is placed second-last with 25 points in 30 games.
The Herons, however, will be without the services of Luis Suarez out front.
Why is Luis Suarez not play for Inter Miami against DC United?
Luis Suarez will not be in the squad as he is serving a suspension for his actions following Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup final defeat against Seattle Sounders. After the full-time whistle, tensions boiled over between the two, which led to sanctions on both teams from both the tournament and Major League Soccer.
Moreover, veteran forward Luis Suarez was handed a six-game ban in the Leagues Cup by its organisers for spitting on a member of the Sounders’ staff during the post-match scuffle.
Additionally, he was also handed a three-match suspension by MLS, taking him out of contention for the match against Charlotte FC, (Sept. 14) against visiting Seattle (Sept. 17), and against visiting D.C. United (Sept. 21)
