Inter Miami Eyes Momentum Against New England Revolution as Herons Prepare for Battle
Inter Miami aims to maintain their strong form in Major League Soccer as they face New England Revolution in their upcoming midweek fixture.
The Florida-based club made MLS proud at the FIFA Club World Cup, standing as the sole representative among three teams to reach the knockout rounds. However, their journey ended in the round of 16 against a dominant Paris Saint-Germain side. Despite this setback, they returned to domestic action with renewed focus, comfortably defeating CF Montréal behind an exceptional display from Lionel Messi.
Their next challenge takes them to Gillette Stadium for a clash with New England. Miami needs to make up ground in the league table after missing fixtures due to their Club World Cup commitments. However, with three consecutive league victories under their belt, they're well-positioned for a strong push. Finishing July on a high note before the All-Star break is crucial for a squad viewed as genuine MLS Cup contenders.
Here's the expected Inter Miami formation against the Revolution.
