Inter Miami: Drake Callender; Marcelo Weigandt, David Martinez, Tomas Aviles; Diego Gomez, Sergio Busquets, Yannick Bright, Federico Redondo; Matias Rojas, Luis Suarez.

Cincinnati: Roman Celentano; DeAndre Yedlin, Chidozie Awaziem, Miles Robinson; 

Luca Orellano, Obinna Nwobodo, Pavel Bucha, Yuya Kubo; Nicholas Gioacchini, Kevin Kelsy, Gerardo Valenzuela.

Despite the painful defeat to Columbus Crew in the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup 2024, 

coach Gerardo Martino still puts his faith in the striker pair of Luis Suarez and Matias Rojas when Inter Miami returns to MLS to face Cincinnati. 

This match in round 25 takes place in the context of the pink team leading the table and 5 points ahead of their opponents.

Both Suarez and Rojas participated in the goals in the match against Columbus Crew, but Inter Milan lost 2-3 despite leading 2-0. In the last 5 matches, Rojas has scored 5 goals, while the Uruguayan striker has 2. From playing in midfield, the Paraguayan international was pushed up higher and demonstrated his excellent finishing ability, especially in the role of second striker. In the absence of Lionel Messi, Rojas was the bright spot of the team, moving widely, actively coordinating attacks and being sharp in front of goal.

Compared to the match against Columbus Crew 10 days ago, Sergio Busquets will be pulled from the center-back position back to midfield to play alongside Julian Gressel, Federico Redondo and Sergio Gomez. In addition, David Martinez was chosen to replace Serhiy Kryvtsov in the defense.

On the Cincinnati side, the attack line still includes Yuya Kubo, the Japanese striker who scored a brace in the 6-1 demolition of Inter Miami in July. Luca Orellano and Luciano Acosta support behind.

Expected lineup

Inter Miami: Callender; Weigandt, Aviles, Kryvtsov, Alba; Gressel, Busquets, Redondo, Gomez; Suarez, Rojas.
