Inter Miami take on New York City FC at Citi Field on Wednesday as their late-season push for an MLS Cup Playoff spot continues.
First off, the Herons will welcome back Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan striker was handed a three-game suspension in Major League Soccer after an altercation with a Seattle Sounders staff member in the Leagues Cup final aftermath.
With a win or draw, Inter Miami would secure an MLS Cup Playoff berth. The Herons still have eyes on climbing the Eastern Conference standings before the regular season. Coming into the match, they have two games in hand over NYCFC while holding three games in hand against the top three teams in the conference: Philadelphia Union, FC Cincinnati and Charlotte FC.
If Miami were to win out the rest of the way, they would finish as the number one seed in the conference. Though, all focus is on making sure last season’s early exit to Atlanta United isn’t repeated.
Here’s how the Herons could line up vs. NYCFC.
