The Heron will look to change their track record against NYC in this match

With 10 points from the first six matches, Inter Miami are currently in second place behind FC Cincinnati by one point in the league. In the absence of Lionel Messi, the team has struggled, but Gerard Martino will aim to win some silverware this season with the star studded squad he has at his disposal.

Meanwhile, New York City FC have endured a disappointing start to the season with the team winning just one in the last five matches. The team currently sits in second last place, so they will want to get back to winning ways soon. Goals have been an issue for the team. In order to change the team’s fortune, Nick Cushing will need to find a solution.

Player to Watch

Luis Suarez (Inter Miami)

After signing for the club this summer, Luis Suarez has had an instant impact on the team. Since then, he has scored four goals in 6 matches and provided three assists. His partnership with Messi and Taylor has been incredible to watch, with their link up being a treat to watch. Having initially failed to score, he has scored in the last couple of matches. In the absence of Messi, he will lead the team.

Santiago Rodriguez (New York City FC)

Throughout the season, the Uruguayan international has impressed everyone with his maturity level. Despite his lack of goals this season, he has made the position his own by displaying impressive performances. In five matches, he has scored two goals and has come close to scoring more goals. His pace and excellent link up play have made him an exciting player to watch.
