The MLS returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Inter Miami take on Toronto FC in an important match on Tuesday. Both teams have struggled this season and will need to win this game.
Inter Miami are in ninth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings at the moment and will need to step up this season. The away side edged Columbus Crew to a 1-0 victory last week and will want a similar result from this game.
Toronto FC, on the other hand, are currently rooted to the bottom of the league table and cannot afford to lose this fixture. The Canadian outfit suffered a 2-0 defeat against FC Cincinnati last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Toronto FC vs Inter Miami Head-to-Head
Toronto FC and Inter Miami are on an even footing as far as the official head-to-head record is concerned and have won one game apiece out of a total of two matches played between the two teams.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place last month and ended in a 3-1 victory for Inter Miami. Toronto FC were not at their best on the day and have a point to prove this week.
