Inter Miami will face Atlas at the Chase Stadium on Wednesday in the opening round of the 2025 Leagues Cup. The home side have enjoyed an overall positive Major League Soccer campaign, most recently playing out a goalless draw with Cincinnati and will be looking to replicate a similar showing on the regional stage over the next week.
They kicked off their Leagues Cup campaign last year with a 2-0 win over Puebla, with the now-departed Matias Rojas opening the scoring less than 10 minutes into the contest before star striker Luis Suarez doubled their advantage in the second-half.
Atlas, meanwhile, have had a mixed start to their Liga MX Apertura campaign, beating Puebla 3-2 on opening day and drawing 3-3 with Cruz Azul in game two. They then suffered a comprehensive 3-1 defeat to Monterrey last time out as they struggled to cope with German Berterame in the opposition attack, with the Mexico international scoring a brilliant hat-trick.
Trending
Like their midweek opponents, the visitors also opened their Leagues Cup campaign last season with a win as they beat Houston Dynamo 1-0 with Jose Rivaldo Lozano coming off the bench to score a late winner.
