Inter Miami and Lionel Messi are now focused on their next challenge and potential championship after winning the first trophy in club history by defeating FC Cincinnati in the US Open Cup semifinal.

The starting lineup selected by head coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino for the Herons’ most recent match against Nashville SC succeeded, although some players may begin to worry given the number of new additions the Herons made in the summer.

Martino will likely choose a starting lineup similar to the one that triumphed in the Leagues Cup at GEODIS Park, but it wouldn’t be unexpected if players like Facundo Farias and Tomas Aviles were included. 

Martino won’t want to risk missing the championship game by starting an inferior lineup against Cincinnati, despite the fact that it would make sense to rest several of the team’s important players.However, MLS play would be the most likely time for any player rests, especially if Miami has gained a lot of ground in the fight for a postseason position.

Inter Miami predicted lineup vs FC Cincinnati ( 4-3-3 )

Knowledge: Drake Callender Callender showed his talent to the many international fans throughout the Leagues Cup, and he has since established himself as a key member of Miami’s squad, particularly following his exploits in the championship game.

DeAndre Yedlin, RB. Messi acknowledged the USMNT representative’s ascendance to leadership in the Miami locker room by helping to raise the Leagues Cup trophy with him on Saturday.

Serhiy Kryvstov, a cornerback, is one of the players who might not make the starting XI with the influx of new talent from South America and the possibility that Aviles will soon receive playing time. However, Kryvstov performed admirably throughout the Leagues Cup semifinals and the championship game.

CB: Kamal Miller, who has been in excellent form lately, is currently the Herons’ top center-back option.

Jordi Alba, LB In recent games with the herons, the 34-year-old has improved defensively, and his overlapping runs that result in cut-back passes have been entertaining to watch. But does the young Noah Allen have a chance to start the game at left-back?

CM: Dixon Arroyo – Alongside Sergio Busquets, the Ecuadorian international has been the lynchpin of Miami’s midfield.

CM: Sergio Busquets – There may be rumblings that Busquets won’t be participating against Cincinnati after appearing in seven straight games and a final for the Herons. However, the Barcelona veteran is too valuable to be rested in the center of the field, particularly before another semi-final.Diego Gomez, CM The young midfielder frequently plays further up the field than Arroyo and Busquets, taking up the same position in midfield as Benjamin Cremaschi. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Gomez in the starting XI because Martino wants to instill competition among the team.RW: Despite rumors that he might be rested, Lionel Messi, 36, will start against Cincinnati, according to Martino. Messi has scored 10 goals in seven matches while also winning a trophy, showing that he is enjoying his time in South Florida.Josef Martinez, another player who came to life during the Leagues Cup, reminded everyone on numerous occasions of his talent and continued to be a top scorer in MLS. The ex-Atlanta United player has already demonstrated excellent chemistry with Messi.Robert Taylor, LW Similar to Martinez, the 28-year-old has had a productive recent period. He earned the left flank spot by winning the Leagues Cup with four goals and three assists.
