Eastern Conference leaders Inter Miami host second-place FC Cincinnati in a high-stakes MLS showdown. Miami, missing the injured Lionel Messi (ankle), relies on Luis Suárez’s clinical finishing (12 MLS goals) to extend their five-point lead. Despite Messi’s absence, Miami boasts a five-game home winning streak and averages 1.7 goals per game without their star. Cincinnati, led by MVP candidate Luciano Acosta (11 goals, 18 assists), seeks revenge for their recent 2-0 loss at Chase Stadium and aims to close the gap in the standings.
