For the first time in three weeks, Inter Miami CF will enter an MLS matchday after a full week of recovery, as they visit the Western Conference’s Minnesota United on Saturday afternoon.
After a slight dip in form, Inter Miami emphatically returned to winning ways on Matchday 11. Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez led the club to a 4–1 win over the New York Red Bulls, snapping a three-match losing streak in all competitions.
This weekend, head coach Javier Mascherano’s side returns to the pitch, taking on a defensively strong team in Minnesota.
The Loons enter the game looking to shut down Miami’s potent attack with a defense that has surrendered just 10 goals in 11 games, ranked second among all 30 teams in MLS.
Additionally, it will be the first time Miami takes on one of their recently-traded players, with former key midfielder Julian Gressel having joined Minnesota in April, after falling out of favor with Mascherano’s staff.
