Latest football commentary Inter Miami vs Los Angeles
Although both clubs are relatively young, Steve Cherundolo's side have had a good run in the competition, having reached the final twice, despite this being only the eighth season in the club's history.
In 2020, they lost the final to Tigres, and three years later, their Mexican opponents defeated them again, with Club Leon winning 3–1 on aggregate in the two-legged final.
If they get through this match, the black and yellow team will advance to the semi-finals, and continue their chances of lifting the trophy they have never won in their short history.
After overcoming the Colorado Rapids in the first round of the tournament, LAFC got revenge on Columbus Crew for previous defeats in both MLS Cup 2023 and Leagues Cup 2024, as a 3-0 first-leg win gave them a 4-2 aggregate victory.
While the away team performed well in international competition, they struggled to maintain this form domestically.
After starting the season with two consecutive wins, Cherundolo's team have lost four of their last five league games, leaving them with nine points from their first seven MLS games.
Three of their four away league games this season have ended in defeat, which sets up a worrying trend ahead of this game.
Their most recent defeat came last weekend when Houston Dynamo beat LAFC 1-0 thanks to a Jack McGlynn goal.
Like LAFC, Inter Miami is one of the youngest teams in Major League Soccer, and they were eliminated by Monterrey in the quarterfinals of last season's Champions Cup.
Having tasted the competition last season, they will be determined to go further this season, and after comfortably overcoming Sporting Kansas City and Cavalier in the previous rounds, they will feel confident of turning things around in this match.
The Herons have made a positive start to their domestic campaign, winning four of their first six games, which has seen them sit second in the Eastern Conference with 14 points.
However, they were held to a 1-1 draw last weekend at home to Toronto FC, with Lionel Messi scoring an equaliser after Federico Bernardeschi had opened the scoring.
The first-leg defeat remains Javier Mascherano's side's only defeat this season, and their home record over the past year will give them confidence that they can overturn a 1-0 advantage.
Meanwhile, the only team to win at Inter Miami's home ground this past year has been Atlanta United, winning both in the regular season and then in the playoffs last season, making them the Herons' arch-rivals.
However, LAFC have also proven to be a tough opponent for Miami since their first meeting in March 2020, with the visitors having prevailed in four matches between the two teams.
Inter Miami's first match in history was against the Black and Gold, a match that ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Herons.
Since then, the two teams have only met three more times, with LAFC winning three of the four, while Inter Miami's 3-1 win over LAFC in September 2023 remains their only win against the opposition to date.
With history favouring the visitors in this fixture, they will be hoping to once again succeed and book their place in the semi-finals.
