The spotlight will be on the attack, especially marquee signing Germ\u00e1n Berterame, who has yet to hit the back of the net for the Herons. <\/p>\n<p>Berterame Seeking a Bounce <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kk12ghae5r2sfw5k4g.jpg\" alt=\"Germ\u00e1n Berterame\" title=\"Germ\u00e1n Berterame\" width=\"5711\" height=\"3807\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7f\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Germ\u00e1n Berterame has struggled to generate scoring chances for Inter Miami. | Kelvin Kuo-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7j\">Inter Miami were not shy about restocking their attacking assets for 2026, and the addition of Berterame from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/soccer\/liga-mx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liga MX<\/a> giants CF Monterrey headlined those moves. Yet, he has struggled to find himself in high-percentage scoring areas through the first two games and has just one shot on target through 180 minutes so far. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7m\">While he has struggled individually, Miami have found form through Lionel Messi, MLS Cup playoffs hero Tadeo Allende and Argentine youngster, Mateo Silvetti, who scored the team\u2019s first goal of the season to spark the comeback against Orlando City. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7p\">This week could also be the first time Miami enter the match at full health, with fullback Sergio Reguil\u00f3n having returned to training and David Ayala back with the squad. <\/p>\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f Key absentees, doubts: Sergio Reguil\u00f3n, David Ayala.\ud83d\udd22 Predicted formation:\u00a04-2-3-1Inter Miami Predicted Lineup vs. D.C.

There\u2019s still work to do, but progress to be sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8n\">LB: Noah Allen\u2014At just 21 years old and with over 70 MLS games under his belt, Allen\u2019s level to start the season has been a glaring weak point. The Greece youth international will have to step up if he hopes for regular playing time once Reguil\u00f3n is up to speed. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8q\">DM: Rodrigo De Paul\u2014The Argentine has undergone a massive shift in responsibility this season, maintaining a spot as a defensive midfielder, rather than being tasked to play out wide to fill gaps. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"90\">DM: Yannick Bright\u2014The Herons awarded Bright with a new contract in October, and the 24-year-old has more than proven his worth already, showing himself to be an aggressive ball-progressing midfielder that complements De Paul exquisitely.   <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"93\">RW: Tadeo Allende\u2014Making his first start of the season against Orlando, Allende showed his ability to burst past defenders and set up chances. He got an assist last week and fans should expect plenty more from him. He won\u2019t be left on the bench very often. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-25\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"96\">AM: Lionel Messi\u2014The eight-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner had a brace in the second game of the season and produced several game-changing moments as only he can do. Even at 38 years old, Messi is still controlling the biggest games and has quickly re-adapted to a more traditional playmaking role behind Berterame. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"99\">LW: Mateo Silvetti\u2014Enjoy Silvetti in MLS and with Inter Miami while you can. With three goals and three assists in 589 minutes across the regular season and playoffs, he&#8217;s showing to be an incredibly impactful talent at a young age. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-27\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"9c\">ST: Germ\u00e1n Berterame\u2014The Mexico international joined Inter Miami to score goals and in part, to decrease the team\u2019s reliance on Messi. There\u2019s still plenty of faith for Berterame to get to that point, but a chance against a leaky D.C. United defense could be his opportunity to spark some form. <\/p>\n<p>READ THE LATEST MLS NEWS, TRANSFER RUMORS AND GOSSIP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fresh off their first win of the 2026 MLS regular season, Inter Miami are looking to spark a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":181647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-181646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/181647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
