If you considering to put your money on Miami vs Cincinnati, then you should read about Inter Miami Vs Fc Cincinnati Lineups first. This will help you a lot to figure out your prediction.
FC Cincinnati have returned from their lengthy Leagues Cup break and look revitalized, scoring six goals against an inconsistent Inter Miami side to post an emphatic 6-1 win on their return to league play.
Head coach Pat Noonan and reigning Major League Soccer MVP Luciano Acosta both made it onto MLS Team of the Week 25 after leading TQL Stadium to victory with ease.
GK: Drake Callender
Drake Callender made several crucial saves early on to preserve Inter Miami’s lead and later denied Cincinnati goalkeeper Carlos Hernandez a late penalty kick, helping secure their first win since signing Lionel Messi.
Luis Suarez scored just 40 seconds into the match with an ideal strike from Luis Suarez that gave them an early 1-0 advantage. They held onto this advantage through most of the first half until an incident involving Tomas Aviles and Kevin Kelsy earned Aviles his second yellow card, leading him to leave the field after just 42 minutes of play.
After this point, Miami held on tightly to their lead by maintaining their defense firmly for the remainder of the period and into the second half. Callender made two more important saves while David Martinez cleared a ball off of the line to protect their lead and preserve Miami’s lead.
Miami coach Tata Martino will likely select the same team that beat Charlotte last time out, with only Matias Rojas returning from his nation’s Copa America elimination to replace Julian Gressel as midfielder. Marcelo Weigandt should remain in his starting spot while Leo Campana and Sergio Busquets could form an alliance after having success against Charlotte wingbacks Leo Campana and Sergio Busquets respectively.
RB: Marcelo Weigandt
Miami and Cincinnati will both look to gain momentum heading into a matchup that features two of MLS’s top three teams at this point, Miami aiming for consistency on the road while FC Cincinnati still looking for their groove following their Leagues Cup loss against Columbus Crew.
Drake Callender will once more start in goal for the Herons, hoping to preserve their fifth clean sheet this season. Marcelo Weigandt may see plenty of action at center-back as Tata Martino could opt for a three-at-the-back formation due to how much possession Miami should hold during this matchup.
Last week in Miami’s 2-0 victory against Charlotte, he earned an assist, created two chances and sent six crosses (four accurate). As Jordi Alba is no longer with us, he will likely serve as right back’s primary option; Ian Fray may push to be featured more prominently at left back.
FC Cincinnati will be missing several key players as it attempts to rebound from its league cup semifinal loss to Columbus Crew. Chidozie Awaziem will make his MLS debut for FC Cincinnati, while deadline day pickup Niko Gioacchini could make an early appearance. Unfortunately, two defenders – Matt Miazga due to knee issues and Nick Hagglund due to ongoing foot issues – won’t be present either.
CM: Sergio Busquets
This matchup between the top two Eastern Conference teams should be one of the highlights of 2024 season and should make for an exciting contest. Although Inter Miami are on paper the superior team, FC Cincinnati have shown themselves capable of rising to any challenge presented in big matches – such as their Hell is Real rivalry match with Columbus Crew or Leagues Cup final appearance which ultimately resulted in them missing out on their inaugural trophy win.
Both Inter and Cincinnati remain undefeated at home this season and it should be an exciting matchup in front of their own fans. Both clubs should field their strongest starting lineups to maintain their unbeaten records and hopefully maintain their streak of victories.
Inter coach Tata Martino may opt to switch up their formation with Sergio Busquets at center back. But given how well his side has controlled possession in recent matches, 4-3-3 should remain more likely. DeAndre Yedlin will get to face his old club after having been traded to FC Cincinnati in January; during his 82 appearances with them (starting their first ever Leagues Cup win last October!), DeAndre made quite an impactful contribution while playing under Pat Noonan’s FC Cincinnati side despite Luciano Acosta being away due to Paraguay international duty and Copa America duties respectively. Meanwhile FC Cincinnati manager Pat Noonan will miss having Luciano Acosta as captain Luciano Acosta as captain Luciano Acosta as captain Luciano Acosta continues his international duty with Paraguay (Cupa America).
LB: Franco Negri
Inter Miami CF looks forward to returning to Major League Soccer competition following their departure from Leagues Cup, in a top-two clash against FC Cincinnati. Both clubs are coming off disappointing league losses but should aim for maximum effort on an important occasion at home.
On Saturday night, both teams are expected to be near full strength with many players returning from international tournaments or serving suspensions. Inter Miami should benefit especially from Luis Suarez returning after scoring twice in three Leagues Cup appearances, and midfielders Diego Gomez and Jordi Alba should give manager Gerardo Martino more options in his starting XI.
Negri made an impactful performance against CF Montreal and is likely to return as left-back. He made two clearances, interceptions and won both tackles while taking one shot on goal and creating one chance.
He will be joined in the backline by CB Tomas Aviles and LB Serhiy Kryvtsov, both of whom had difficulty against Patrick Agyemang in their previous match. Additionally, CM Julian Gressel could make his first start since being eliminated from Copa America earlier this week; right-winger Matias Rojas could make his return after having been dropped; finally RB Leo Campana hopes to bounce back after suffering in their loss to Charlotte.

Lionel Messi may have returned to training full-time with Inter Miami this week, yet he will miss Saturday’s match against FC Cincinnati MLS action at home ground Herons Stadium. As such, Luis Suarez must lead Inter’s attack at Herons’ home field as Luis Messi leads training back home in Argentina.
After not performing at their best against Columbus Crew last weekend, Herons FC are poised to clinch a playoff berth this weekend with either a win or various scenarios involving other teams around them. Coach Tata Martino has given Messi time to recover from an ankle injury sustained last month, so hopefully we won’t have to wait long before seeing former Barcelona star Messi back on the pitch!
FC Cincinnati comes into this match seeking to avenge their loss to Columbus Crew and get their season back on track following a slow start. They can count on certain players who have excelled during big moments this season; two such examples being Roman Celentano and DeAndre Yedlin who should reunite against their former club at TQL Stadium for what should be an exciting encounter; plus deadline day purchases Chidozie Awaziem and Niko Gioacchini will likely feature for Cincinnati against league leaders Columbus Crew.

Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati finally meet again after several Leagues Cup encounters, and should provide an exciting MLS contest. Both clubs have much to prove on the domestic scene so the clash should provide plenty of entertainment value on both sides.
Inter Miami are enjoying their best run of the season so far; their win against Orlando City on Wednesday marked their fourth in a row in league play while FC Cincinnati earned an unexpected 2-3 victory against DC United to become one of the leading teams in East.
FC Cincinnati outscored Herons 6-1 before Leagues Cup break, thanks to a double from Yuya Kubo and three assists from Luciano Acosta for an overwhelming 6-1 victory.
This time around, however, the match won’t feature as many notable faces: Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will both be away on international duty with their respective national teams while Jordi Alba and Diego Gomez are serving yellow card accumulation suspensions.
FCC head coach Pat Noonan must find an answer for the absence of these two key players, as a loss against Miami could create a large gap in the Supporters’ Shield race with eight games remaining. A win would put FCC back in contention; even a tie may not suffice to preserve first place.
