We travel to Fort Lauderdale in Florida where Inter Miami will host Mexican side Necaxa in matchday 2 of the Leagues Cup. Inter Miami currently sit in 7th position in the MLS group stage, Necaxa are sat in 6th position in the Liga MX group stage.
In the previous match, Lionel Messi assisted twice, Marcelo Weigandt would score a winner in the 96th minute to give Miami the win. The Argentine substitute Tomas Badaloni was the hero for Los Rayos scoring a brace after coming off the bench.
Javier Mascherano’s team is in good form, having gone unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions. Furthermore, they have secured points in each of their last five games played at Chase Stadium. The Herons have never lost against Mexican sides in the leagues cup at home winning all 3.
Los Rayos are on a three-match unbeaten run across all competitions, scoring seven goals and conceding just three over that stretch. Unfortunately, if history repeats itself the run could be over as Los Rayos have never won consecutive games in the Leagues cup.
The 2025 Leagues Cup has a new format. Instead of a single combined table, teams from MLS and LIGA MX will compete in separate league-specific tables during the initial phase. The top four clubs from each league’s table will then advance to the knockout stage. In this year’s tournament, simply winning is not enough to secure your spot. Goal differential is the next tiebreaker, so teams will need to score as many goals as possible to increase their chances of advancing to the quarterfinals. Inter Miami’s goal difference of 1 is a cause for concern. It will be a tough game and the pressure is on for both teams to deliver.
