Atlanta is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches. They do not have a win in their last 2 matches and they only have 2 wins in their last 9 straight matches. Their defense has been awful in these matches as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 5 as well as 6 of their last 9 matches, including their last 2 straight as well. They are already down 1-0 in this series after a 2-1 loss in Miami and their defense is going to be a problem for them here. They are going up against an Inter Miami side that has been in great form in their recent matches. They have won their last 4 straight as well as 7 of their last 10 matches with no losses in that span. Their defense has not been great in these matches, but they have been better than Atlanta as they have not been conceding as many goals. Their attack has also been on fire in these matches and a lot more consistent, scoring at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches and scoring 8 goals total in their last 2 matches alone. When playing away from home, they have won their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 5 matches with no losses in that span. Inter Miami has been the best team in the league all season and they are motivated to take home the MLS Cup this season. There is no reason for them to extend this series to a 3rd match when Miami has the quality to win away from home and end it right here. Inter Miami will win this match and advance to the next round.
