Past Regular Season Match

Head Coach Javier Mascherano Previews Sunday's Match

"We played a conference final recently. It's practically the same team, they've only changed a few players, they have a coach who has a very clear idea of ​​how he wants them to play and they do it very well... I think that the disappointment of being eliminated from the Champions Cup should fill us with energy to go and play a great game, show what we are capable of and get the three points."

Previously Against New York City FC

Sunday's meeting will be the 15th between the sides in Club history. To date, Inter Miami has recorded three wins, four draws and seven losses against NYCFC.
