Lionel Messi and Co. took Game 1 of the Best-of-Three series in Miami last Friday by a score of 2-1.
The Herons came flying out of the gates, opening the scoring in the second minute of play through Luis Suárez.
Despite losing key defenders Brooks Lennon and Stian Gregersen to injury in the first half, Atlanta managed to even things up before halftime, thanks to a great effort by Saba Lobjanidze.
Miami took back the lead in the 60th minute, as Messi linked up with Jordi Alba for a tremendous long-range effort, which would stand as the winner.
Miami only needs one more win to advance to the Conference Semifinals, while a loss would see both sides return to Miami for a do-or-die Game 3.
Atlanta is undefeated in their last five home games against Atlanta, most recently settling for a 2-2 draw on Matchday 32 of the 2024 season. The Five Stripes have not lost a playoff game at home since 2019.

Atlanta United Lineup vs Inter Miami
A battered and bruised Atlanta United will have to put up a stand against the record-setting Herons on Saturday.
After losing Lennon to season-ending shoulder surgery, and Gregersen likely to be unavailable with a leg injury, Atlanta head coach Rob Valentino will have to look to his bench to make up his defensive line against Miami’s high-powered offense.
Ronald Hernandez and Luis Abram will slide into the backline, while veteran Dax McCarty will take up a spot in the center of midfield. Creative engines Aleksei Miranchuk and Saba Lobjanidze will pull the strings behind striker Daniel Rios.
Atlanta United predicted lineup: Brad Guzan (GK) – Ronald Hernández, Luis Abram, Derrick Williams, Pedro Amador – Bartosz Slisz, Dax McCarty – Ajani Fortune, Aleksei Miranchuk, Saba Lobjanidze – Daniel Ríos.
