Rabat – Inter Miami is facing FC Porto tonight in the FIFA Club World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The game is their second group match.
Each team’s first result was a scoreless draw, leaving all four Group A sides level, and the winner of this match will lead the group
The match’s kick-off is at 8:00 p.m. Morocco time (GMT +1), and fans can catch the action live for free on the Dazen website or application, MBCMasr 2, Showmax, TNT, TBS, truTV, Hulu + Live TV, and DirecTV.
Inter Miami opened with a 0-0 draw against Al Ahly, and Porto also drew 0-0 with Palmeiras. Those shared points make the win important to avoid falling behind.
Both coaches acknowledge the stakes. Inter Miami’s coach Javier Mascherano said his team was “very nervous and anxious in the first half” versus Al Ahly but “improved a lot after halftime’’
Porto’s coach Martín Anselmi called the opener “a very tight game” and praised his players’ fighting spirit, they “fought until the end despite lacking precision’’
Miami is missing key players. Javier Mascherano confirmed that left-back Jordi Alba, left wing Gonzalo Luján, midfielder Yannick Bright, and defender David Martínez missed the opener and are doubtful again.
Porto’s star goalkeeper Diogo Costa is still sidelined with a thigh injury, so Cláudio Ramos will again start in goal.
Key players to watch are eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, who has scored 15 goals and 5 assists in just 21 appearances for Inter Miami this season. On the other side, FC Porto striker Samu Aghehowa stands out with 25 goals across all competitions.
Expected lineups:
- Inter Miami (4-2-3-1) : Oscar Ustari, Marcelo Weigandt, Maximiliano Falcon, Héctor Martínez, Noah Allen; Tadeo Allende, Sergio Busquets; Federico Redondo, Telasco Segovia, Lionel Messi; Luis Suárez
- FC Porto (3-4-3): Claudio Ramos; Martim Fernandes, Nehuen Perez, William de Carvalho; Pepe Aquino, Andre Varela, Gabriel Veiga, Otavio Monteiro; Samu Aghehowa, Wenderson Galeno, Rodrigo Mora.
Prediction: MWN expects a tight, competitive match, likely a Fc Porto win by a one-goal margin (Fc Porto 2-1 Inter Miami).
