Notes:
- Inter Miami CF (9W-10L-6D, 33 points) will look to build on its momentum at DRV PNK Stadium tonight at 8 p.m. ET when it hosts Toronto FC (8W-12L-6D, 30 points). Inter Miami enters the meeting amidst a four-match unbeaten run and a strong home stretch of just one loss in the team’s last 11 outings at DRV PNK Stadium.
- Inter Miami enters this weekend's fixture after a crucial 3-2 home win in its last match when it took on New York City FC on Saturday, Aug. 13. Midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo and winger Ariel Lassiter scored the team’s goals in the matchup to help the Herons clinch the three points. His two goal's in the match were Pozuelo's first two as an Inter Miami player, while Lassiter's was his second in the 2022 MLS regular season.
- Pozuelo was voted MLS Player of the Week and to the Team of the Week for Week 25 of the 2022 regular season following his match-winning performance against NYCFC. The Spaniard netted his first two Inter Miami goals and registered an assist in the match. This makes Inter Miami the first club to earn three MLS Player of the Week designations this season (Leonardo Campana in Week 6, Gonzalo Higuaín in Week 23).
- Defender Ryan Sailor and attacker Ariel Lassiter return to the starting XI for tonight’s fixture.
- Inter Miami striker Gonzalo Higuaín may face former teammate and known rivals in Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Bernardeschi and Domenico Criscito: Higuaín and Insigne played 103 matches together for SSC Napoli between 2013 and 2016 and subsequently faced each other 11 times after Higuaín moved to Juventus F.C.; Higuaín and Bernasdeschi shared the pitch 52 times during Higuaín's Juventus stint, while also matching up against each five times while representing different Italian clubs; Higuaín and Criscito have previously played against each other once while Higuaín was at A.C. Milan and Criscito at Genoa CFC.
