Saturday’s match will be the 20th meeting between Inter Miami and Orlando City. The head-to-head record is perfectly balanced so far, with each team recording seven wins, while five matches have ended in draws.

The last meeting took place on March 3 of this year at Inter&Co Stadium, where the Herons earned a 4-2 victory thanks to a brace from Lionel Messi and goals from Telasco Segovia and Mateo Silvetti. Marco Pasalic and Martin Ojeda scored for the hosts.

Following Saturday’s derby, Inter Miami will have a full week off before traveling to Toronto next weekend. After that, they will have just three matches remaining before the World Cup break, facing FC Cincinnati, Portland Timbers and Philadelphia Union.

For Saturday’s match, Guillermo Hoyos cannot rely on two key players on the roster. Left-back Sergio Reguilon has not fully recovered and will remain sidelined, as he has for most of the season, while Argentine forward Mateo Silvetti will also miss out due to fitness issues.

For the first time, Inter Miami and Orlando City will play a derby at Nu Stadium. The venue, which has a capacity of 25,000, was inaugurated just a month ago and has so far hosted three MLS matches for the Herons.

General view inside Nu Stadium.

Head coach Guillermo Hoyos has named the following XI: Dayne St. Clair; Ian Fray, Maximiliano Falcon, Micael, Noah Allen; Rodrigo De Paul, Yannick Bright, Telasco Segovia; Lionel Messi; Luis Suarez, German Berterame.

This is the XI selected by head coach Martin Perelman: Maxime Crepeau; Griffin Dorsey, Iago, Robin Jansson, Adrian Marin; Braian Ojeda, Luis Otavio, Martin Ojeda; Ivan Angulo, Tiago, Justin Ellis.

The game between Inter Miami and Orlando City will kick off at 7 PM (ET).
