The Major League Soccer match between New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami will take place at Red Bull Arena on Sunday at 5:00 am IST.
After finding success in cup competitions, Inter Miami is set to rejoin MLS action as they will play an away match against New York Red Bulls this Sunday. Although Inter Miami currently holds the bottom position in the Eastern Conference, the New York Red Bulls are 11th in the standings. Following their elimination in the Leagues Cup’s round of 16, the New York Red Bulls returned in MLS to play the previous weekend. In their home match against DC United, the game was heading for a goalless draw until John Tolkin secured a last-minute victory with an 88th-minute goal for the Red Bulls.
As the regular lleague season has 10 matches left, Troy Lesesne’s team is three points away from a playoff position. Although facing the challenge of Messi and his teammates, the Red Bulls have demonstrated their resilience, conceding just 26 goals in 24 MLS matches. This defensive record is second best in the Eastern Conference. Furthermore, their performance on their home ground has been impressive, with only one defeat in their last eight competitive home games.
Since their last 3-0 defeat to St. Louis City on July 16, much has changed for Inter Miami. Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba have joined the team. Tata Martino is the head coach, and the club has secured their first piece of silverware. Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup last week. And then eliminated FC Cincinnati in the US Open Cup semi-final. After dedicating the past five weeks to cup competitions, Inter Miami will focus their attention back to the MLS, where substantial effort is required to push for the playoffs. A significant gap of 14 points separates them from the top nine teams in the Eastern Conference.
New York Red Bulls’s probable starting lineup: Carlos, Harper, Reyes, Nealis, Tolkin, Fernandez, Edelman, Yearwood, Luquinhas, Barlow, Manoel
Inter Miami’s probable starting lineup: Callender, Yedlin, Kryvstov, Miller, Alba, Cremaschi, Busquets, Mota, Messi, Taylor, Martinez
