The early hours of Sunday morning will see 3-2-2 Inter Miami welcome the 2-2-2 Colorado Rapids to Chase Stadium. Miami lost at home to Monterrey in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final in midweek, in front until being reduced to 10 men on 65 minutes, conceding in the 70th and 89th minute. Lionel Messi has been missing for them since mid-March and his participation in this match is still up in the air. They netted 10 in their first three home games of the season but only once in their two without Messi. If he is back, the goals should start to flow again for the highest-scoring team in the league.

The Rapids were awful last season, winning just five of their 34 games. They already have two wins on the board this season, one of those on the road to Salt Lake who are third in the West with 10 points. They have scored goals in all three of their road games this season and only Houston has stopped them from finding the back of the net at home. A draw away at Seattle was a disappointing result and they were beaten 4-1 in Portland in the opening week of the season with the Timbers winning just a single game in five opportunities since. This is the first time that they have visited Inter Miami for a more difficult away game than they have played so far this season.
