Pressure was already mounting on captain Lionel Messi and head coach Javier Mascherano to turn things around before the match against Orlando, but the Herons' funk only worsened on Sunday. Inter Miami has now conceded at least three goals in five of its last six matches in all competitions.

Inter Miami CF are back on the pitch for the third time in eight days as they host Orlando City SC in the Florida derby on Sunday. Coming off a 3–3 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes and a 4–1 loss to Minnesota United, Lionel Messi and the Herons will hope to bounce back and return to winning ways, while taking down their only rival in the state.
