Inter Miami will look to get revenge on FC Cincinnati in an MLS battle on Saturday. The Herons fell 3-0 in the reverse fixture on July 16, but they should have some confidence after defeating the New York Red Bulls 5-1 in their last MLS match. The task got tougher for Miami on Friday, however, when news broke that Miami stars Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will be suspended for this game due to missing the MLS All-Star Game without league approval. Meanwhile, Eastern Conference-leading Cincinnati have won six of seven league matches, including a 1-0 win against Real Salt Lake last weekend.
