Inter Miami enters this match with significant momentum. The team has turned its home stadium into a fortress, dominating recent opponents. Superstar Messi Inter Miami continues to be the creative engine of the team. In their last victory against Atlas, he masterfully created two goals, proving he doesn’t need to score to control a game. The club will, however, miss key players like Ian Fray and a goalkeeper, which could test their squad’s depth.

Necaxa will not be an easy opponent. They arrive in Florida fresh off an impressive win over Atlanta United. Their attack looks sharp, with Tomas Badaloni emerging as a player to watch after scoring two goals. While they find the back of the net consistently, their defense often concedes goals, a weakness Inter Miami will surely try to exploit.
