Preview | FC Cincinnati is to be recovered against Inter Miami CF

After a disappointing Saturday evening last time, FC Cincinnati wants to quickly turn the site and return to your winning methods on Wednesday evening if you organize Inter Miami CF in the TQL stage for a matchup during the week.

Since the defeat against Columbus has still occurred, a winning series of four games and at the same time falls out of the top in the east, the quick turnaround can be a happy opportunity for orange and blue, as they have the opportunity to take over another top team and blame themselves after it is real in hell.

However, the priority that comes out of this game is to ensure that you play your game first and do so as a unit all the time.

“Many conversations are in the game and in the video about the game and the video, so that we were currently discussing many things as far as the game went wrong and how we can happen again,” said Pat Noonan on Monday morning before the Mercy Health Training Center in his Premat press conference. “I think the message is pretty clear, so that can only be answered on how we train in the next two days and how we will appear on Wednesday.”

“We somehow stopped being a coherent unit. We made a lot of individual things and made individual mistakes, which happens, but if we can stick to the plan to be a coherent unit and not to play individually, then we are obviously a top team,” added FC Cincinnati, Matt Miazga, later in the morning. “So we have to adhere to this type of togetherness and be coherent instead of being individuals.”

The matchup with Miami Pits FC Cincinnati against one of the deeper teams in the league and a team that plays this game with a winning streak of five games. However, Inter Miami is also in the middle of a very full schedule, since after the part of the FIFA Club World Championship you want to compensate for the lost time in the MLS time plan

With the talent on the field, FC Cincinnati is preparing for a challenge and knows that it will require this kind of coherent effort to collect three points on Wednesday evening.

“It will be a good challenge for us and as we saw at the weekend, it must be 90 minutes of concentration and courage – both sides of the ball – to understand how to play and manage a game,” said Noonan in his press conference. “In everything they do, our 11 have to be collective to try to make them uncomfortable (Miami) if we have the ball and be very connected and very strong, especially in one-v-one moments.

“As I say all the time, if you can do the defensive structure correctly, it does not mean that you will do the individual duels right, and if we can succeed in these moments, we can have a good, good performance.”

After this game, FC Cincinnati will travel to Real Salt Lake for the first road trip of the Western of the season. You will then travel to Südflorida a week later to return to Miami, and complete both FC Cincinnati-Inter-Miami games in 2025 within 10 days.

Inter Miami CF has returned to Cincinnati for the first time since July 6, 2024. This evening, FC Cincinnati achieved a dominant, historic 6-1 victory at the TQL Stadium, which for several reasons entered the record books.

This victory for FCC approved the club record for the goals in a game (6) and agreed with the club record for goals in the first half. It was only the second game in the last 10 seasons in which the top two teams in the shield classification of the supporters contained at least 21 games in the season.

FC Cincinnati won three MLS games in a row in the TQL Stadium and undefeated in four consecutive games in all competitions, including 3: 3 draw in the US Open Cup semi-final in August 2023. FC Cincinnati is 4-5-2 against Miami against Miami with a 3-2-1 record in the houses.

At home for the route – Wednesday is the third of three house games in a row for Cincinnati. Including Wednesday evening, seven of FC Cincinnati's 12 remaining regular season games are played in the TQL Stadium in 2025. And 10 of the 15 remaining planned games of the club in 2025 – including Ligues Cup Phase 1 – are organized in the Queen City.

Start quickly, quickly – The goal of Pavel Bucha on Saturday against Columbus Crew, which was achieved with 39 seconds, was the fourth goal in the MLS story of FC Cincinnati and the fifth goal of all time.

Just another winner on Wednesday – FC Cincinnati did well under Pat Noonan on Wednesday. At noon since 2022 in all competitions, the FCC in 29 games are 17-5-7 in a Wednesday (3-0-2 this season).

Potential for 150 – The head coach of FC Cincinnati announced on Monday that Nick Hagglund will be available for this game. Should he appear what was his first since he was injured in Atlanta on May 25, it would be his 150th appearance for FC Cincinnati. With the 150th appearance, he would be the third player in club history who would reach this plateau.

Scouting Inter Miami CF (11-3-5, 38 points, 5th in the Eastern Conference)

Inter Miami CF comes to the TQL stadium on Wednesday and goes high over the success of your FIFA Club World Cup appearance and a winning series with five games in the league game that started in May.

Under the new head coach Javier Mascherano, who took over this low season after Tata Martino resigned after one and a half seasons, the club experienced some fights in the early season, but seems to have found its form as the 2025 season month. Miami won in four games in front of this winning streak, but has her fights to return to one of the most dangerous clubs in the Major League Soccer.

Part of Inter Miami's style of play, who sometimes has to fight this season, is defense, but in this route the FC Cincinnati head coach Pat Noonan says that this is the part of her game that you have tidied up and have contributed to preparing your team for success.

“I think you can see defensively, only in moments when the ball turns around, the organization and how you defended against the ball to play hard,” said the head coach of FC Cincinnati, Pat Noonan, on Monday in a press conference of Mercy Health Training Center. “I think that was a strength of your team and in the last few months after what we saw.”

The top line of every matchup with Miami obviously includes Lionel Messi, the star of Inter Miami and a consensus top player in history. The Argentine striker was not always available in the FC Cincinnati matchups with the herons, but seems to play in this game. With 10 goals in his last five league games, Messi set up a league record by registering a bracket in four games in a row and was the hottest scorer in the league. Nevertheless, Messi never achieved in all his previous games against orange and blue.

“The reality is that we play, you know one of the greatest players who have ever played, so we have to be aware of where he is and what he is doing,” said defender Matt Miazga on Monday before the game on Wednesday evening. “But at the same time we play at home. We have to concentrate on ourselves and drive our game forward. If we do it, we will minimize it, and that's the most important thing. That is now in focus.”

Apart from Messi, Miami brings a lot of quality to the field, which makes a challenging game. Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets make headlines for the club. However, the quality of the down list beyond these international stars could be the difference for a club like Miami.

“Your best players are really strong, but it's not just about [Lionel] Messi, [Luis] Suarez, [Sergio] Busquets, [Jordi] Alba, the, we know world class. You made this all your career. But I think the parts around them are also at a high level at the moment, ”added Noonan from his press conference.“ They see all parts – the Segovien, the Redondo. On the back line – [Maximiliano] Falcon – these boys are and I name all of these players who get for many minutes and help them. [Tadeo] Allende. These are really good players. So in everything they do, our 11 have to be collective to try to make them uncomfortable when we have the ball and are very connected and especially at a moment. “

This season Miami took second place in the goals with 44 in the Eastern Conference. They also have a 5: 1-3 record if they don't play at home.
