Match Preview

Two of the leading teams for playoff glory in the Eastern Conference collide before the start of the Leagues Cup on Saturday. FC Cincinnati holds the positional advantage based on the current standings, as they sit top of the table after winning each of their last two matches without conceding.

Last time out, Cincinnati battled to a 1-0 win on the road against Real Salt Lake, with Luca Orellano netting the winner in the dying embers of the fixture. That victory continued Cincinnati’s excellent record on the road in 2025, as they have now won eight of their 13 matches. However, their defensive record raises concerns, as they have allowed an average of 1.29 efforts per 90.

Inter Miami remain among the favorites to win the MLS Cup this season, and they quickly put a defeat against Cincinnati behind them with an explosive display against the New York Red Bulls last weekend. Messi was at his clinical best, netting twice. Meanwhile, there were also goals from Jordi Alba and Telasco Segovia.

Miami have been largely reliable in home matches throughout 2025, winning six of their ten fixtures and losing just twice. Their attacking players have been at their lethal best at Chase Stadium, scoring an average of 2.4 per game. However, it could be worth remembering that they have kept clean sheets in just 10% of their home fixtures.
