Inter Miami CF heads to Red Bull New York on Saturday, Oct. 24, with a fourth straight victory in reach. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. ET at Sports Illustrated Stadium, and fans can watch live on Apple TV.
The match matters because Inter Miami has kept winning while the table keeps tightening around it. The club won 3-1 on the road over Atlanta United FC last time out, with Leo Messi scoring twice and Germán Berterame adding the other goal, and it now stands at 15 wins, 5 losses and 10 draws for 55 points in the MLS regular season. That record leaves Inter Miami second in the Eastern Conference even though it has scored 73 goals in 30 regular season games, the most in MLS. Messi leads Inter Miami and MLS with 25 goals and is tied for the league lead with 15 assists.
Red Bull New York comes in with a very different picture: 10 wins, 14 losses and 6 draws for 36 points, ninth in the Eastern Conference, after losing its past two regular season matches. Julian Hall, 18, has been one of the few bright spots with 11 goals and 5 assists in 29 appearances, but the club still needs a sharper run to keep the season from slipping away.
This is the 14th matchup between the clubs, and the series is level at six wins each with one draw. Inter Miami has not lost to Red Bull New York in its last four meetings, with three wins and one draw, and the first meeting between the teams this regular season ended 2-2 at Nu Stadium in April. That leaves the road side with both momentum and a problem: it is the league’s most dangerous attack, yet it is still chasing the top spot in the Eastern Conference rather than owning it.
Saturday gives Inter Miami a chance to add another layer to its season, not just another result. A win would stretch the run to four straight and push the conversation toward whether the club can turn scoring power into a stronger finish in the East. A loss would let a struggling Red Bull New York team interrupt the momentum and keep the standings race open a little longer.
