Match Preview
A fascinating clash between two of the leading teams in the Eastern Conference is set for TQL Stadium on Wednesday, as Inter Miami travel to FC Cincinnati. The hosts have been in excellent recent form, winning four of their last five. However, their winning sequence was halted in their previous fixture after losing 4-2 at home to Columbus Crew.
Despite that recent home loss, Cincinnati has still enjoyed an excellent 2025 at TQL Stadium. Overall, they have won 60% of their matches, and have scored an impressive 1.8 goals per 90. However, they have been slightly weak defensively after allowing 1.4 efforts per game from an xGA of 1.41.

Inter Miami have been electric since returning to MLS action, winning each of their last three to move up to fifth in the standings. Lionel Messi’s performances have been making the headlines, with his double in the win over Nashville seeing him make MLS history by becoming the first player to score braces in five straight matches.
Scoring goals has been a strength for Miami throughout the season, as they have averaged 2.32 per 90. However, their chances in the playoffs may hinge on improving their defensive record, having allowed 1.58 per game. But, they will likely cause issues for Cincinnati after failing to score in just 11% of their MLS fixtures.
Head-to-Head Record
Inter Miami recorded a 2-0 home win in the previous fixture between the sides in August 2024. However, that success ended a five-game winless sequence against Cincinnati. That includes a 6-1 defeat in the previous clash between the teams at TQL Stadium.
FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami Picks
This should be a high-quality showdown in the MLS on Wednesday, and cases can be made for both teams. However, the narrow preference is for Cincinnati to bounce back to winning ways to enhance their excellent record in home fixtures in 2025.
