Inter Miami return to action in the CONCACAF Champions Cup when they take on Jamaican champions Cavalier in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash on Thursday. With Lionel Messi sitting out the Herons' last three games, fans will be hopeful to get a glimpse of the 37-year-old as the MLS outfit look to continue from where they left off in the first leg.
Cavalier were denied consecutive victories in the Jamaican top flight for the first time this year as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw against Waterhouse last Monday.
Before that, Rudolph Speid’s men suffered a huge Champions Cup blow as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Inter Miami in the first leg of their last-16 clash on March 7.
While Cavalier will be looking to turn the tie on its head, results at home offer little optimism as they have failed to win their last six games since the start of 2025.
