The MLS is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Inter Miami lock horns with FC Cincinnati on Saturday. Both teams have struggled this season and have a point to prove this weekend.
FC Cincinnati are rooted to the bottom of the MLS Western Conference standings and have endured a dismal season. The away side suffered a 4-3 defeat against Chicago Fire last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Inter Miami are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this year. The hosts eased past Toronto FC by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati Head-to-Head
Inter Miami have a flawless record against FC Cincinnati and have won all three matches that have been played between the two teams. FC Cincinnati have never defeated Inter Miami in an official fixture and will want to create history on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place last month and ended in a 1-0 victory for Inter Miami. FC Cincinnati were wasteful on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.
