Second Head to Head Meeting
These two clubs locked horns just once so far, Inter Miami taking a 2-1 win in the Leagues Cup in July 2023.
Herons Winless in September
Series of bad results throughout the second part of August caused Inter Miami to part ways with Guillermo Hoyos and appoint Kily Gonzalez as the new head manager.
Apart from a 7-1 win over Montreal in Gonzalez’s debut, things haven’t stabilized in terms of results, the Herons still being winless in September.
All three of their appearances this month ended in draws against Atlanta United 2-2, Chicago Fire 1-1 and most recently Nashville 2-2 (conceded equalizers in stoppage time on two occasions).
Cruz Azul Coming off Three Straight Wins
Like their upcoming opponents, Cruz Azul had a rough time in the second half of August too, losing three games straight to Chicago Fire 2-1 (Leagues Cup), Atlas 2-0 and Tijuana 2-1.
This horrible run was put down to rest in late August with a 3-1 win over Necaxa, while their September premiere was a 1-0 win against Santos Laguna 1-0 with Jose Paradela scoring just before stoppage time.
Cruz Azul made it three in a row last weekend with a 4-3 thriller home win against Club America, pushing them up to 4th place after eight rounds (five wins, three defeats).
