New York Red Bulls vs Inter Miami Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | MLS 2026
The Herons are unbeaten in their last four encounters against RBNY!
Red Bull New York are gearing up to battle it out against Inter Miami CF in what is going to be their round 31 clash in the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS). The Sports Illustrated Stadium will witness this interesting fixture.
Led by Michael Bradley, the Red Bulls have now faced consecutive losses in their last two league outings. They first fell prey to DC United (1-2) and then suffered a 0-2 loss at the hands of Toronto FC. With 10 wins in 30 games, the New York Red Bulls are in ninth place on the Eastern Conference MLS points table.
They will be looking to get back to winning ways, but it will require a strong performance from their end. Bradley’s men are going to be under pressure despite being the home team.
Lionel Messi and company have now secured back-to-back wins in their last three games and will be looking to add more to their tally. They are coming off an easy 3-1 victory against Atlanta United in their recent league outing. The Herons are in second place on the Major League Soccer points table, but are still 12 points away from the top spot.
Even though the Kily González-led Inter Miami will be away from home, they will be full of confidence.
