This highly anticipated match pits two of the Eastern Conference's top teams against each other, promising an exciting encounter with significant implications for the league standings.
Inter Miami enters this match in strong form, having been unbeaten in six MLS matches before a recent 3-0 defeat to Cincinnati on July 17. Despite that loss, the Herons sit 5th in the Eastern Conference with 38 points and have several games in hand, making this a crucial fixture for their Supporters' Shield ambitions. Lionel Messi continues to lead their potent attack, being a top contender for the Golden Boot.
FC Cincinnati, meanwhile, is enjoying a stellar season, currently leading the Eastern Conference with 48 points from 24 matches. They have won six of their last seven league outings, including their dominant 3-0 victory over Inter Miami earlier this month. Led by MLS All-Star Captain Evander, Cincinnati boasts a solid defense and an efficient attack, making them a formidable opponent on the road.

▶ Watch on Apple TV (MLS Season Pass)Inter Miami and FC Cincinnati have a relatively balanced head-to-head record, having clashed 12 times in club history. Inter Miami holds a slight edge with 6 wins to Cincinnati's 4, with 1 draw. However, Cincinnati has had the upper hand in recent encounters, including their commanding 3-0 victory over Miami on July 17, 2025.
Inter Miami will be without Noah Allen (hamstring), Drake Callender (hernia), Ian Fray (adductor), Oscar Ustari, Baltasar Rodriguez, and Allen Obando (hamstring). Maximiliano Falcon is also ruled out due to yellow card accumulation. There's also uncertainty around Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, who missed the MLS All-Star Game and could face suspension if no official injury reason is submitted.
FC Cincinnati will be missing key players Kevin Denkey (leg injury), Obinna Nwobodo (leg injury), and Yuya Kubo (ankle problem). Despite these absences, Gerardo Valenzuela has stepped up, scoring in Denkey's absence. Evander, the MLS All-Star Captain, remains a pivotal figure in their midfield and attack.
This match is set to be a tightly contested affair between two strong Eastern Conference contenders. While Inter Miami boasts significant attacking firepower, especially at home, FC Cincinnati's consistency and recent dominant win over Miami make them a tough opponent. Given both teams' ability to find the net, a high-scoring draw seems a likely outcome.
Final Prediction: Inter Miami 2-2 FC Cincinnati
