Inter Miami and Orlando City could meet in the Leagues Cup
Orlando City could meet Inter Miami in the round of 32 in the Leagues cup. Orlando City sit second in their group after 1 game and will play Santos of Liga MX next on Saturday July 29th.
Orlando City sits fifth in the MLS East and like most MLS sides are a sea of inconsistency yet has a squad that could reasonably be able to contain the Messi onslaught. The team regularly plays with two holding midfielders and has a formidable attack with DP Facundo Torres and Ercan Kara.
