Inter Miami predicted lineup vs FC Cincinnati - MLS
- Inter Miami are fresh off a 2-1 triumph over Charlotte FC
- The team is still without Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez as the duo are at Copa America
- Tata Martino could make a couple of changes to his lineup from the win that won at Charlotte
Inter Miami boss Gerardo 'Tata' Martino could look to shake things up for his side's clash against FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer action.
The Herons will be eager to continue their recent ways having won four straight league matches without the likes of Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. However, things will get a little more difficult against Cincinnati as they'll be without Jordi Alba and Diego Gomez due to yellow card accumulation while taking on the team that's right behind them in the Supporters' Shield standings.
Martino could shift to a three-at-the-back formation with Sergio Busquets filling in as the central center-back, but it's more likely he'll stick with his 4-3-3 setup given Miami will probably control possession vs Cincinnati.
Here's how Miami could lineup for their primetime contest vs Cincinnati.
Inter Miami predicted lineup vs FC Cincinnati ( 4-3-3 )
GK: Drake Callender - Callender starts in between the sticks for the Herons once again, looking to keep his fifth clean sheet of the season.
RB: Marcelo Weigandt - The 24-year-old keeps his place in the team after the positive result vs Cincinnati but Ian Fray continues to push for minutes at right-back.
CB: Tomas Aviles - The young center-back will be put to the test against the reigning MVP in Lucho Acosta after he struggled a fair bit vs Patrick Agyemang.
CB: Serhiy Kryvtsov - Like Aviles, Kryvtsov also struggled in the previous match vs Charlotte and will look to rebound against Cincinnati.
LB: Franco Negri - With Jordi Alba unavailable for selection due to yellow card accumulation, Negri steps in at left-back to make his seventh start of the campaign.
CM: Benjamin Cremaschi - Cremaschi will be full of confidence heading into the match after scoring the winning goal late on against Charlotte.
CM: Sergio Busquets - Miami's midfield general will have to be on his game to keep the likes of Pavel Bucha and Acosta at bay.
CM: Julian Gressel - Gressel returns to the midfield alongside Busquets after several matches played on the right-wing.
RW: Matias Rojas - The Paraguay international returns to the mix straightaway after his nation was eliminated from Copa America earlier this week.
ST: Leo Campana - Campana didn't have the best of matches vs Charlotte and will look to turn the page against Cincinnati.
LW: Robert Taylor - The veteran winger gets the nod to round out the Miami attack.
