Inter Miami will be looking to get some traction on their unravelling season when they host Orlando City in an MLS clash at the DRV PNK Stadium. Things have gone awry for Miami in recent weeks and are expected to struggle against an in-form Orlando side.
Inter Miami are coming off a 1-0 defeat to DC United in their previous MLS fixture. They finished the match with nine men following red cards to Ryan Shawcross and Gregore and could only muster a single attempt on target throughout the contest.
The pressure is mounting on manager Phil Neville with the season not going according to plan for 11th placed Inter Miami. They have claimed just two wins this season and head into Saturday’s match with four defeats in their last five matches.
Inter Miami have been hampered by a leaky defence all season with only basement boys Cincinnati conceding more goals in the Eastern Conference. Things are likely to be even worse on Saturday as they will be without key defender Ryan Shawcross, who was one of two players sent off against DC United.
Orlando City were rampant in their previous MLS fixture as they thrashed San Jose Earthquakes 5-0. They made a bright start with Nani opening the scoring early in the first half while Benji Michel and Daryl Dike both grabbed braces.
The Lions are not relenting in their pursuit of New England Revolution and are now just two points behind the Eastern Conference leaders. They have lost just once this season and travel to the DRV PNK Stadium with four wins from their last five matches.
Manager Oscar Pareja favours an attacking style of play which has put Orlando among the leading scorers in the East. However, that open style often leaves them exposed defensively, particularly on the road as they have conceded in three of their last four away matches.
