Inter Miami, meanwhile, arrive in Charlotte as the reigning MLS Champions after defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 in the 2025 final. The Herons sit third in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of their hosts, having defeated D.C. United 2-1 last weekend with goals from Rodrigo De Paul and Lionel Messi."
"Javier Mascherano's side are balancing their MLS commitments with a Concacaf Champions Cup campaign, having drawn 0-0 with Nashville SC in their Round of 16 first leg on Wednesday. The busy schedule could play into Charlotte's hands."
"Inter Miami will be without defender Maxi Falcón after he was injured against Nashville in midweek, with Gonzalo Luján likely to slot in. Former Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilón made the bench against Nashville after suffering a knee injury in pre-season and could be available."
"Team captain Lionel Messi has been in typical MVP form to start Miami's league season, already scoring three goals in three matches."
