Two clubs battling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference meet on Wednesday when Inter Miami CF hosts Orlando SC. Inter Miami is seventh in the conference table at 13-6-13 on 45 points with a goal difference of -10. Miami is tied on points with sixth place Orlando City but trails in goal difference. Miami took all three points on the road with a 1-0 victory over Toronto on a goal by Gonzalo Higuain, who has also announced he will retire after this season.
Inter Miami has three consecutive victories in MLS action following its Friday night win over Toronto. Each of these three victories and 12 of Miami's 13 wins during this season have been by a single goal. Gonzalo Higuain is the leading goal scorer for Miami with 14, while Leonardo Campana has scored 10. Alejandro Pozuelo is the leader in assists with eight.
Orlando City is sixth in the conference table at 13-6-13 on 45 points with a goal difference of -7. Orlando City is just one point adrift of fifth place Cincinnati, but has a match in hand. Orlando City was defeated on the road 2-1 by New York City FC on Sunday. Orlando City opened the scoring with a goal by Facundo Torres in the 47th minute but gave up two unanswered goals in the second half to lose.
Orlando City has two consecutive losses on the road for just the first time all season after falling to a New York City FC last Sunday. However, Orlando City has not lost three consecutive road matches since the beginning of 2019. Ercan Kara is the leading goal scorer for Orlando City with 10, while Facundo Torres has scored eight. Mauricio Pereyra and Torres are the leaders in assists with seven each.
