Inter Miami vs. Los Angeles FC: CCC Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Inter Miami hosts LAFC in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal, trailing 1-0 after Nathan Ordaz's first-leg goal gave LA a slim lead.

LAFC, finalists in 2020 and 2023, aim for their first continental title. They advanced past Colorado Rapids and avenged their MLS Cup loss to Columbus Crew earlier this year. However, their away form has been shaky, with three losses in four league road games, including a recent 1-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo.

Inter Miami, eliminated at this stage last year, are hungry to go further. They cruised past Cavalier and Sporting Kansas City in earlier rounds and currently sit second in the MLS Eastern Conference with 14 points from six games. A 1-1 draw against Toronto last weekend saw Messi score late to salvage a point.

Miami's only loss this season came in the first leg of this tie, but with a strong home record, they're confident of overturning the deficit. Historically, LAFC has had the upper hand—winning three of the four meetings—but Miami beat them 3-1 in September 2023.

One ailment that the hosts are worried about is David Ruiz's status for the encounter owing to a hamstring injury.

Additionally, Tadeo Allende (leg) and David Martinez (groin) are also questionable for this match.

As a result of a leg injury, Jeremy Ebobisse may miss the game for the visitors.

It gets worse for Cherundolo's squad: Lorenzo Dellavalle will likely miss the match with a thigh injury.
