Toronto FC at Inter Miami -

Overview of the match for Toronto FC V Inter Miami

The Toronto FC will close a disappointing MLS season with four games to play, starting with a home confrontation against Inter Miami at the BMO Field on Saturday.

For Reds, this luminaire is more a question of pride than points. They have not been faced for some time and will simply aim to end the campaign on a positive note.

Miami, on the other hand, is locked in a battle at the top. The Herons have already sealed their place of playoffs and remain firmly in the running for a second shield of consecutive supporters.

Toronto has not raised this trophy since 2017 – the same year, they won the MLS Cup – but this year was a major disappointment despite the appointment of Robin Fraser as a chief coach.

A return of only five wins on 30 matches (17%victory rate) reflects how difficult 2025 was for the Canadian team.

Fraser’s point record record is 0.87, significantly lower than 1.34 that he reached the rapids of Colorado. TFC is without victory in eight, although six of them ended with prints, showing at least a certain resilience.

The challenge that awaits them now is intimidating: Inter Miami flies high, chasing the leaders of the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia Union with two games in hand.

Their 64 goals this season make it the most prolific team in MLS, and Javier Mascherano clearly said what is the target: “If we can win the next five games we have, it will be great, and we will have a chance to fight for the supporters’ shield.”

Miami is undefeated in their last five points against Toronto and has only lost twice in 12 meetings in total. The reverse lighting ended 1-1 – The only draw in the history of this match – but to judge by the 4-0 demolition of Miami from the New York City in the middle of the week, Toronto could be in another difficult evening.

Team news for Toronto FC against Inter Miami

Toronto’s list of injuries is important. Kevin Long (leg) is the last addition to a defense already missing Henry Wingo (thigh), Zane Monlouis (Hip) and Nickseon Gomis (Achille). The Deandre Kerr striker is not available either.

On a brighter note, Jonathan Osorio and Djordje Mihailovic are both fit and in shape, with three goal contributions combined in their last three games.

For Miami, Mascherano welcomes Telasco Segovia after the suspension, while Fabrice Picault is also available again after a quadruple strain. However, David Ruiz and Allen Obando remain away with the problems of the hamstrings.

The remarkable threat, of course, is Lionel Messi. Freshly out of another splint, he now has 24 goals in 23 games and leads the MLS tracks.

The Argentinian has established even more records: the first player in the history of the league with at least 35 goal involvement in consecutive seasons and eight multi-drum games in its last 12 appearances.
