Inter Miami vs Orlando City: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

With their impressive start to the season, Lionel Messi and his team will be looking to continue it

A strong start to the season has led Inter Miami to the top position. Having endured a poor finish last season, the team has shown a lot of strength in the opening games. Luis Suarez has made a useful contribution to the squad so far, giving the squad a sense of confidence. A 2-0 win against Real Salt Lake was followed by a 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy to get the team started on the right path. 

In the Eastern Conference last season, Orlando City finished 2nd but lost to Columbus in the semifinal. In the first match of the season, they played a goalless draw, but they will be looking to keep that momentum going. In the CONCACAF Champions League, they have also advanced to the second round after defeating Cavalry FC 6-1 in the first round.

Player to Watch

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) 

After contributing in back-to-back matches, Lionel Messi has started the season with great form. In his last match, Inter Miami’s captain helped salvage a draw by netting an equalizer in the dying minutes. The man will attempt to make amends after failing to lead Miami to the top last season. 

Facundo Torres (Orlando City) 

Last season, the Uruguayan International led Orlando City to the playoffs with his performances. Despite being a winger, he scored 14 goals which was an impressive performance. The season is also on a brighter note with him scoring a brace to hand his side an advantage in the CONCACAF Champions League.
