The 2026 MLS season has already kicked off, and several teams are set for their second appearance. Orlando City host Inter Miami at Inter&Co Stadium today at 7 PM (ET) in the Florida Derby—an ideal scenario for both teams to bounce back from opening-week losses.
Oscar Pareja’s men got off to a shaky start, falling at home to the New York Red Bulls 2-1. This derby presents a great opportunity for them to quickly recover from their most recent setback.
For their part, the Herons experienced the same fate, though their loss was even more lopsided. On their visit to the West Coast, Inter Miami were thrashed 3-0 by LAFC.
Orlando City’s probable lineup
With the goal of securing their first win of the season, here are the probable starting eleven for Orlando City: Maxime Crepeau; Griffin Dorsey, Iago, David Brekalo, Adrian Marin; Marco Pasalic, Braian Ojeda, Wilder Cartagena, Tyrese Spicer; Duncan McGuire, Martin Ojeda.
