Orlando City vs Inter Miami will take place at the Raymond James Stadium on February 15 in a Club Friendly. On Saturday night both teams will lock horns in their final pre-season friendly before the start of a new campaign.

The Lions lost their last friendly game to CF Montreal by a 2-1 scoreline and Messi and his team won their friendly game by crushing Olipico 5-0 last weekend. Orlando did have a decent campaign last season and with the addition of some top-quality players, they will be optimistic of having a much better season this time out. Oscar Pareja believes in his men and the club management does have full trust in Pareja to deliver results.

Defensively Orlando was a good team last season and surely they will look to do the same this season as well. The Lions will look to end their Pre-season on a positive note for sure.

Miami has brought in Argentinian tactician Javier Mascherano to lead their side for this season. Even though there are some doubts over his credibility and experience in managing a team at this level, Beckham and his board fully trust him.

The Herons are full of Veterans on their team and hope that they stay fit and help the team to achieve their objectives. Even though this is a pre-season their performance still hasn’t been that promising and they will have to work a bit more to be fully ready for the season. Miami are unbeaten in their last four outing against Ornaldo across all competitions and will hope to make it five. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.
