Inter Miami CF, the reigning League Cup champions, can secure the top spot in their group with a victory or a draw against the formidable Tigres UANL from LIGA MX. The match will take place on Saturday night at NRG Stadium.
Inter Miami and Tigres UANL have secured their spots in the round of 32. Essentially, this match holds little significance, but there is still a reason to compete. The team that finishes first in the group will have the advantage of facing the runner-up of East 6 in the next round, considered a more favourable draw. Each team will be eager to secure a win to improve their prospects for the next round.
Miami couldn’t have faced a stronger side than Tigres at this stage. They have maintained an undefeated record this season and were among the top-performing squads in Liga MX last season. Nevertheless, Inter Miami has been in exceptional form in all competitions. They have emerged victorious in seven out of their last eight matches and are bolstered by the return of some of their top players from Copa America. The Herons have a notable history in the Leagues Cup, as they emerged victorious the previous season.
Even though they won their last match against Puebla, Tigres had trouble establishing control of the game until Puebla was reduced to 10 men. On the other hand, Miami was unstoppable against the same opponent in every game, and their prospects here are looking good because of it. Following their success against Puebla, Tata Martino will tell his team to hoard the ball and pile on the pressure in the fourth quarter. Their aggressive presence is too much for the Tigers to handle.
