Match Preview

Over a week since suffering a significant defeat to an Eastern Conference opponent, Inter Miami returns to action on Wednesday at Chase Stadium where they will host Toronto FC.

In their last outing, Inter Miami endured a tough 6-1 loss to FC Cincinnati, marking their largest-ever defeat in an MLS regular-season match since a 5-0 loss to the New England Revolution in 2021. Despite conceding 37 goals this season, the Cincinnati match was the first time they allowed six goals in a single league fixture.

Prior to that defeat, Inter Miami had been in good form, winning four consecutive matches by a 2-1 scoreline and experiencing only two losses since being eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions Cup by Monterrey in April.

A win on Wednesday would see Inter Miami surpass their six home victories from the previous MLS campaign. They've shown resilience this year with several come-from-behind wins, although all four of their domestic losses in 2024 came when conceding the first goal.

Against Toronto FC, Inter Miami holds a perfect home record, including a convincing 4-0 victory at Chase Stadium in their last meeting in 2023.

Toronto FC, on the other hand, ended a lengthy losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union. They've struggled away from home, currently on a seven-match winless streak across all competitions and without an away league victory since late April against Orlando City.

Toronto FC has only two away wins in the Eastern Conference this season, tied for the second fewest, but a victory on Wednesday would match their highest number of away wins in a season since 2020.

Overall this season, Toronto FC has eight MLS victories, and a win against Inter Miami would equal their total number of wins from 2022. They've yet to secure a point away against Inter Miami, but one of their two road victories in 2024 came in Florida with a 2-1 win over Orlando City.
