Inter Miami vs Orlando City Analysis
Herons still working on getting everything together
How the roster of Inter Miami has changed things for MLS teams is easy to forget.

Looking at Inter Miami CF vs Orlando City SC odds will show the Herons are a little bit more organized this season.
Inter Miami finished in a draw during its last match against MLS Cup runner-up LAFC. The Herons needed a late penalty kick from Messi to escape with a draw, but are clearly a more formidable side this year. Inter Miami has also seen some contributions from another new veteran star, Luis Suarez.
Suarez, who has an assist, is looking to find his place among MLS players after making his name playing for clubs in Europe and for the Uruguayan national team.
Inter Miami Projected Lineup:
Callender; Yedlin, Aviles, Freire, Alba; Ruiz, Busquets, Gomez; Messi, Suarez, Campana
