Inter Miami vs Sporting Kansas City Preview and Team News
Inter Miami Team News
Inter Miami have a chance to qualify for the last 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup if they avoid defeat against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday. If they progress, it will be their second successive season they have made it into the last 16.
Inter Miami relied on individual quality to eke out a narrow 1-0 win in Kansas. The win followed up a strong pre-season run that has seen them prepare ably for the upcoming campaign. Last time out, Javier Mascherano’s side netted in the 10th minute of extra time to claim a 2-2 draw against New York City FC.

Our team performance analysis reveals that Inter Miami have a good chance of completing a win of the tie on aggregate on Wednesday when they host Sporting Kansas City.
Team news shows that only center-back Ian Fray is a doubt with a meniscus injury. This means manager Javier Mascherano will have many options to construct his tactical approach for the match.
Inter Miami Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): Ustari; Weigandt, Aviles, Lujan, Alba; Cremaschi, Redondo, Busquets, Picault; Messi, Suarez.
Sporting Kansas City Team News
Kansas City and their manager, Peter Vermes, came close against Inter Miami in the first leg; they competed well, but they were up against a superior Inter Miami side. The 1-0 defeat fits a pattern that was widespread for Kansas City last season, losing by a single goal in the regular season 12 times.
Although Kansas City scored twice in the 3-2 defeat against Charlotte FC in pre-season, they have been unable to notch in their last five matches. The betting preview on 20Bet shows that they will need to win away from home in this competition, something they have not done since 2019 against Toluca (2-0).

Sporting Kansas City were missing Jansen Miller last week, who was recovering from a back injury, whereas Khiry Shelton is a major doubt to be involved on Wednesday as he nurses a hamstring issue.
Manager Vermes had three players injured in his starting 11 in their MLS opener versus Austin, including William Agada, Joaquin Fernandez, and Logan Ndenbe. Kansas City’s big signing in the off-season, Dejan Jobeljic, made his debut in MLS from the bench last weekend, but he should be back to the starting 11 against Inter Miami on Wednesday.
Sporting Kansas City Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): Pulskamp; Davis, Rosero, Voloder, Leibold; Garcia, Radoka, Rodriguez; Salloi, Joveljic, Thommy.
