Team News
The match at Nu Stadium, Inter Miami's permanent home at Miami Freedom Park which opened earlier this year, is expected to be a sell-out. Miami’s technical staff have focussed on defensive organisation in training this week, aiming to tighten a backline that has occasionally looked vulnerable despite their prolific scoring record.
The Portland Timbers arrive in Miami following an inconsistent run of form that sees them languishing in 12th place in the Western Conference. Despite their league position, the Timbers have shown they can be dangerous on the counter-attack, recently recording a morale-boosting 6–0 win over Sporting Kansas City.
