Inter Miami CF will look to continue their undefeated MLS season when they welcome Toronto FC on Sunday, hoping to rebound after losing to LAFC in Concacaf Champions Cup action midweek.
The Herons enter the match as one of the few undefeated teams in MLS, boasting four wins and one draw, most recently a 2–1 victory over the Philadelphia Union to move into top spot heading into Mathday 7. However, they enter Sunday’s match sitting second place in the Eastern Conference, after Columbus Crew SC passed them –– having played two more games– on Saturday.
While keeping their form and undefeated streak in MLS will be important for head coach Javier Mascherano’s team, the manager may also opt to rest some players given Toronto FC’s struggles and the need to climb back into their Champions Cup tie midweek against LAFC.
For Toronto, they come into this match with just one point in seven games, looking for their first win. They will likely bring the struggling Lorenzo Insigne, who, despite having the highest-valued contract in MLS outside of Lionel Messi, has been an underwhelming frustration for the Canadian club and its fans. They come into this match after a 0–0 draw with the Western Conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of kickoff on Sunday night.
