**Miami, Florida -** Inter Miami CF will host Atlanta United FC on Saturday night for a crucial Game Three of their Eastern Conference Round One MLS Cup Playoffs series. The match at DRV PNK Stadium will determine which team advances to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Miami is looking to bounce back after a 2-1 loss in Game Two, where Atlanta’s Xande Silva scored a stoppage-time winner. While they failed to secure a series sweep, a victory on Saturday would send them through to the next round.

Head coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino is likely to be without veteran midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is recovering from an illness. Fellow midfielder Yannick Bright is also doubtful after sustaining an injury in Game Two.

Despite these absences, Miami possesses a strong lineup, featuring stars like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.

The potential starting XI for Miami includes:

* **GK:** Drake Callender
* **RB:** Marcelo Weigandt
* **CB:** Tomás Avilés
* **CB:** David Martínez
* **LB:** Jordi Alba
* **CM:** Benjamin Cremaschi
* **CM:** Federico Redondo
* **CM:** Julian Gressel
* **RW:** Lionel Messi
* **ST:** Luis Suárez
* **LW:** Diego Gómez

Messi will be looking to regain his scoring touch after being held scoreless in Game Two. Suárez will also be looking to find the back of the net after a quiet performance in the previous match.

The match promises to be a tight encounter as both teams will be eager to secure a place in the next round. With a home-field advantage and a strong roster, Inter Miami will be confident in their ability to secure the victory and continue their playoff run.
