Reached when they arrive at the quarterfinals of the 2025 Cup, Inter Miami returns to the MLS action for the first time in more than two weeks when the Heron visit the team directly under them at the East Conference on Sunday.
The sixth city of Orlando is a point behind Javier Mascherano’s team and they are also in good shape, hitting Cuaxa 5-1 at home to advance in the Cup of Leagues: Miami needed penalties to overcome the same opponents, as part of a four-winning race in five games, including victories in consecutive house.
“A victory before a great game like this is always good for trust,” said Captain Robin Jansson. “We have to bring that to the game and even more energy.
“Our fans will help us take that energy to the field. The entire squad will take that energy to the field and we are eager to do it.”
Orlando won 3-0 in Miami on May 18 and won his second victory in the 3-1 consecutive league in the fourth place in Columbus last time.
“We have the basis that we went to Miami, we had a good result there and we had a great performance,” said Oscar Pareja manager, a former Colombian midfielder.
“That context is in our memories and our goal is to create a new one in front of our fans.”
The first position of the table remains in the hands of Miami because they have at least three more games to play than the four teams about them.
“It is good in terms of the advantage it could have in the play-offs,” Mascherano replied when asked how important the followers could be to win.
“But we saw last year (losing to Atlanta of the sixth seed as the best seed) that means nothing.
“Our idea is to try to win the remaining 12 games that we have in the regular season, win the three Games of the League Cup, etc.
“The demands and responsibilities of this club are to try to leave and compete and win every game in front of us.”
Orlando Wilder Cartagena midfielder (left Achilles tendon surgery) and Yutoo Tsukada striker (left knee surgery) are out of the season.
The midfielder Jorge Gerbet (thigh) and Duncan McGuire (shoulder) are injured, while César Araujo is a reserve of a prohibition.
The striker Tyrese Spicer is on the bench after Trinidad striker and Tobago signed from Toronto for up to $ 550,000 in general allocation money in two seasons, and Adrian Marin has joined the Portuguese Club from the Portuguese Club, with a couple saying that City had been exploring the left defender for several years.
With a quarter of the Cup of Leagues against Tigers less than two weeks away, Mascherano said it would be “crazy” to travel with the top scorer and Captain Lionel Messi, who lost the 3-1 victory over Pumas on Thursday with a small injury to the right leg.
Mascherano did not report any other new concern for injuries, although Ecuador Allen Obando has not played since he suffered a problem of the hamstring, while goalkeeper Oscar Ustari returns from the same problem.
Drake Callendar suffered a setback in training before the game against Pumas, since the goalkeeper recovers from a hernia and Federico Redondo problem will incur a suspension if the midfielder is reserved.
Atlético de Madrid midfielder, Rodrigo de Paul, makes his debut in the MLS, after having established two goals against Cuaxa and scored one against Pumas.
“We had the idea of playing it in a kind of 4-3-1-2, being the free player and Tadeo (Allende) and Luis (Suárez) playing a little more forward,” said Mascherano.
“In the second half, we changed it and decided that it would drop a little and did not play so much on your back to the (center of the field). It gives us different options, it is very versatile.”
