Inter Miami, featuring global superstar Lionel Messi, will be looking to continue their strong start to the tournament. They opened their Leagues Cup 2026 campaign with a convincing 4-2 victory over Atlético de San Luis, a match where Messi netted a brace. The Herons boast an impressive recent record across all competitions, having lost just once since Guillermo Hoyos took over on April 15, posting a 9-2-1 record during that span. In their last five outings across all competitions, they have four wins, one draw, and zero losses.

Their opponents, CF Monterrey, will be eager to bounce back after a 2-1 defeat to Orlando City SC in their Leagues Cup opener. Despite that setback, Monterrey's new head coach Matías Almeyda has compiled a 2-2 record across all competitions since taking charge earlier this season. Their recent form across all competitions stands at two wins, zero draws, and three losses in their last five matches.
