Orlando City SC vs. Inter Miami CF
Messi and Suárez have been in the thick of Miami’s Supporters’ Shield-leading form, with the legendary No. 10 putting in multiple record-breaking performances to reach 10g/12a in just nine games – good for the league lead in goal contributions (22). The iconic Uruguayan striker, meanwhile, has 11 goals to equal Real Salt Lake’s Cristian Arango and D.C. United’s Christian Benteke for the Golden Boot presented by Audi lead.
Orlando’s 2024 season, in contrast, has been underwhelming, with the Lions failing to replicate the level shown during last year’s club-record 63-point haul. With just three wins in 11 games, Oscar Pareja’s side needs a statement result against arguably the most in-form team in MLS.
There is reason for optimism, however. Striker Duncan McGuire continues to impress during his second season, scoring three goals in his last five matches, including the club’s 3-2 win at the Philadelphia Union over the weekend. That fateful visit to Subaru Park also served as offseason signing Luis Muriel’s breakout match, with the DP Colombian striker opening his Orlando account with a highlight-reel brace.
