Charlotte FC welcome Inter Miami to Bank of America Stadium in an MLS clash that pits two Eastern Conference contenders against each other.
Dean Smith’s Charlotte side will be looking to build on their impressive 3-1 victory over Austin FC last weekend, a result that saw Spanish midfielder Pep Biel bag a sensational brace. Charlotte currently sit seventh in the Eastern Conference table.
Inter Miami, meanwhile, arrive in Charlotte as the reigning MLS Champions after defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the 2025 final. The Herons sit third in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of their hosts, having defeated D.C. United 2-1 last weekend with goals from Rodrigo De Paul and Lionel Messi.
Javier Mascherano’s side are balancing their MLS commitments with a Concacaf Champions Cup campaign, having drawn 0-0 with Nashville SC in their Round of 16 first leg on Wednesday. The busy schedule could play into Charlotte’s hands.
Team news for Charlotte FC v Inter Miami CF
New signing Henry Kessler is yet to feature for Charlotte this season. Otherwise, Dean Smith should have a fully fit squad to choose from after making several changes to his starting XI against Austin.
Inter Miami will be without defender Maxi Falcón after he was injured against Nashville in midweek, with Gonzalo Luján likely to slot in. Former Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilón made the bench against Nashville after suffering a knee injury in pre-season and could be available.
Team captain Lionel Messi has been in typical MVP form to start Miami’s league season, already scoring three goals in three matches.

Inter Miami
While Charlotte boast an excellent home record and will be buoyed by last weekend’s convincing victory, the quality in Inter Miami’s squad should prove decisive. Messi continues to operate at an elite level, and despite the midweek exertions, the reigning champions have enough depth to rotate effectively. Expect a tight contest, but Miami’s star power should shine through at Bank of America Stadium.
