Inter Miami vs Orlando City Preview and Team News
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami are renowned across the world for changing the face of this competition, not least because of the presence of several key players such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. However, their recent 3-3 draw with San Jose Earthquakes is bound to send alarm bells ringing across their management board.
Messi, who arrived from Paris Saint-Germain to Miami, has been responsible for driving a shift in the perception of football fans across this country and has also inspired several youngsters to pick up the sport in the USA.

That he brought Suarez and fellow ex-Barcelona stars Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba alongside him to play here speaks of the largesse that he holds in his heart and the place he accords to his teammates.
At Miami, Messi has been responsible for most of their attacking forays even though his gametime has been severely restricted owing to the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Miami are among the most attacking teams in the MLS and they will put a huge test to the Orlando defenders in this game.
However, injuries to Fabrice Picault, David Ruiz and Drake Callender will hamper Miami’s preparations for this game, even though they have an advantage – they are currently ranked fifth in the league table.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs Orlando City (4-3-3): Ustari; Allen, Lujan, Weigandt, Alba; Bright, Busquets, Redondo; Segovia, Messi, Cremaschi.
Orlando City Team News
Orlando, who are ranked sixth in the league table, know that no game is easy in the MLS, least of all the one against Miami. The visiting side are known for their possession-based style of football in which they pay a lot of emphasis on passing the ball short distances and not allowing their opponents to run amok in their half.
Orlando are also expected to allow their wingers to overlap in order to create more chances in the final third. On the odd occasion, the visitors have also been known to allow their fullbacks to bomb forward to support their attackers.

However, when this happens, their central midfielders (Orlando play in a 4-2-3-1 formation) drop deep to support their central defenders if they lose the ball in dangerous areas. Their confidence and morale will both be boosted by their 3-1 win over Charlotte FC in their last encounter.
Ahead of this game against Miami, Orlando are without the services of Eduard Atuesta, who has sprained his neck and Nicolas Rodriguez, who has a thigh injury. Yutaro Tsukada is a long-term absentee for the visiting side owing to an ACL tear – he is only expected to return in November later this year.
Orlando City predicted lineup vs Inter Miami (4-2-3-1): Gallese; Freeman, Schlegel, Jansson, Brekalo; Araujo, Gerbet; Pasalic, Ojeda, Angulo; Muriel.
Inter Miami vs Orlando City Prediction
- Pick: Inter Miami to win or draw
- Odds: -500 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Inter Miami 2-1 Orlando City
Inter Miami have a slight advantage over their opponents in this game as they are playing at home, and we expect them to either win or draw it. Miami have won or drawn 11 out of the 16 games recorded between the teams in the past, and we expect the same to take place here as well.
Most importantly, form is in Miami’s favour as they have won or drawn the last five matches they have played against Orlando. The more aggressive Miami side will dominate proceedings here, with Orlando’s defenders putting up a strong showing to avert a major disaster in their own half.
Inter Miami vs Orlando City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -204 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to score in this game given that two sets of top-class attackers are in operation. Miami have also seen BTTS in their last five outings. While Messi and Suarez are expected to be the best players on offer in the Miami offensive line, Orlando will rely heavily upon the services of Muriel and Ojeda.
Ojeda, who usually plays as a central attacking midfielder, has scored seven goals already in the MLS and has also assisted his teammates on three occasions. Muriel, meanwhile, has found the back of the net on four occasions in the MLS this season and also assisted twice. Both teams have good attackers in their ranks.
