In the most recent match against Monterrey, Lionel Messi could not play due to mourning his father. The absence of the Argentine star significantly affected Inter Miami, causing the MLS team to suffer a 1-2 defeat right at home against the Mexican representative.
El Pulga will return in the confrontation with Club Leon and is likely to start. This is an important addition to Inter Miami, because in the most recent match with Messi's presence, he scored 2 goals and assisted 1 time, helping his team defeat San Luis 4-2.
Inter Miami's form is generally still very positive as they have won 11 and only lost 2 in the last 20 matches. At home, this team also won 12 and only suffered 3 defeats in the last 20 matches.
Inter Miami is particularly lucky when facing Mexican representatives. They have won 7 out of 9 encounters with Mexican teams in the Leagues Cup.
Club Leon is also having a perfect start when winning all 2 of their first matches in the Leagues Cup. However, the away form of the Mexican representative is quite worrying as they have lost 13 of their last 19 away matches in all competitions.
