eyes are on the Inter Miami – Los Angeles Galaxy clash, and through our website we bring you everything you need to know about this highly anticipated encounter.

Inter Miami welcome LA Galaxy to Florida this weekend in their latest Major League Soccer clash. The Herons enter the contest sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference, while their visitors remain rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference table.

Fresh off a heavy 4-1 defeat to Orlando City, Javier Mascherano’s men will be eager to bounce back and keep their play-off hopes on track. Despite that setback, Miami are still  firmly in the title conversation, even without Lionel Messi, who continues to recover from a muscle injury.

In Messi’s absence, new arrival Rodrigo De Paul has stepped up impr essively, dictating the tempo in midfield, while Luis Suárez remains the focal point of their attack. With 50 goals scored so far — the second-highest tally in the league — Inter Miami will feel confident of a quick response to last week’s loss. Their strong home form, with three wins and a draw from their last four outings, further underlines their advantage.

The Herons are also unbeaten in their last two meetings with the Galaxy and will look to extend that record on Sunday. However, they will once again be without goalkeeper Drake Callender, who remains sidelined.

For LA Galaxy, the absence of Riqui Puig through a knee injury is a significant blow, though Marco Reus, Edwin Cerrillo, and Diego Fagundez are expected to marshal the midfield.
