The MLS returns to the fold with another set of important matches this weekend as New England Revolution take on Inter Miami on Sunday. The two teams find themselves at opposite ends of the table at the moment and will need to step up in this match.
Inter Miami are in 11th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have failed to meet expectations this season. Phil Neville's charges suffered a 3-1 defeat against New York City FC in their previous game and will need to make amends in this fixture.
New England Revolution, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been excellent this year. The hosts edged Colorado Rapids to a 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this game.
New England Revolution vs Inter Miami Head-to-Head
