Inter Miami host Orlando City at Nu Stadium in a key Florida Derby clash, where both teams look to improve their position in the Eastern Conference. The Herons enter as favorites given their strong recent form, but they are still searching for their first league victory at their new home after three consecutive draws. Miami relies on Lionel Messi as its main difference maker. Game is underway!
Inter Miami arrive on an impressive run, as they are undefeated in 11 straight games across all competitions, a streak that began with a 4-2 Matchday 2 win over Orlando at Inter&Co Stadium. They have also posted a 2W-0L-1D record under interim manager Guillermo Hoyos, who took over following Javier Mascherano’s departure last month. Despite their consistency, Miami sits second in the Eastern Conference.
On the other hand, Orlando City are going through a difficult stretch and remain near the bottom of the standings, having conceded a league high 29 goals this MLS season. The Lions have gone 2W-4L-1D under interim boss Martin Perelman, who replaced Oscar Pareja in March after a slow start. Orlando currently sits 14th in the Eastern Conference and is at risk of missing the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
