Inter Miami will face Palmeiras at the Hard Rock Stadium on Monday in the final group-stage game of their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign. The Herons have enjoyed a positive run of results on the global stage and are on the verge of confirming a spot in the knockout stages as they sit second in Group A with four points from an obtainable six.
Following a goalless draw against Al Ahly on opening day, Inter Miami locked horns with Portuguese giants Porto in their second game and picked up a 2-1 comeback victory. Javier Mascherano's men headed into the break a goal down and then drew level early after the restart via a Telasco Segovia strike before talisman Lionel Messi scored a brilliant free-kick to secure maximum points for the MLS outfit.
Palmeiras also had to settle for a point in their group opener as they played out a goalless draw against Porto. They, however, picked up their first win of the tournament on Thursday as they beat Al Ahly 2-0 at the MetLife Stadium, profiting from an own goal to take the lead in the second half before Jose Lopez sealed the win minutes later.
