Inter Miami’s 39 goals in 14 home games meet a New York City FC side that has conceded 17 in 14 away matches, with both teams also carrying listed absences.

Before kickoff

Miami’s home scoring against NYC’s away defence

Inter Miami host New York City FC at Nu Stadium on Wednesday, October 14, at 23:30 UTC in Major League Soccer Regular Season - 29. The defining question is whether Miami’s strong home scoring record can break through an NYCFC defence that has conceded 17 goals in its 14 away games this season.

In the provisional Eastern Conference standings, Inter Miami are ranked #2 with 49 points from 28 games, while New York City FC are ranked #10 with 33 points from 28 games. Miami are 16 points ahead of NYCFC, and both remain behind leader Nashville SC: Miami trail by 14 points and NYCFC by 30.

The home-away contrast

Miami’s home record is 5 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses, with 39 goals scored and 26 conceded. NYCFC’s away record is 4 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded. Miami have kept 2 home clean sheets; NYCFC have kept 2 away clean sheets.

The supplied five-match form sample begins with a loss, win, win, draw and win for Miami, and a draw, win, win, win and loss for NYCFC. Miami most often use a 4-3-3, while NYCFC’s preferred formation is 4-2-3-1, but those selections alone do not establish the match plan.

Unavailable players

Miami list T. Allende, Y. Bright, F. Mura and M. Silvetti as missing through injury. NYCFC list D. Baiera, A. Farnos, M. Ilenic, M. Moralez, K. Parks, Talles Magno and K. Trewin as missing, with illness specified for M. Ilenic.

At kickoff, will Miami’s 39-goal home attack create more clear openings than NYCFC’s away defence has allowed this season?
