Preview: Inter Miami vs Orlando City prediction, odds, where to watch, time | MLS 2026

The Herons have secured back-to-back wins in their last two fixtures against the Lions.

Inter Miami CF are all set to battle it out against Orlando City for their round 11 fixture of the 2026 Major League Soccer. The NU Stadium is going to witness this entertaining outing between these clubs.

Lionel Messi and company are coming in after being held to a 1-1 draw by New England Revolution in their last league outing. It was an underwhelming effort by them and they dropped two points. The Herons will once again be at home and this time around, they must utilise the conditions to their advantage.

With five wins in 10 games, the Guillermo Hoyos-led side are in second place on the Eastern Conference MLS points table. Inter Miami now have a chance to secure three crucial points and come closer to the top spot.
