This is an Inter Miami predicted lineup for their second group stage outing in the Club World Cup. The MLS side got their campaign off to a 0-0 start against Al-Ahly. The star-powered front line of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez couldn’t find the net in a match where the Saudi team created the better of the chances.

Inter Miami Recent Form & Tactics
Manager Javier Mascherano (another former Barca man) sets his side up in a 4-4-2. It’s an old school system that protects and enhances the ageing legs of the star men like Busquets. It also allows the front duo to switch roles and use their skill and IQ to break down opposition defences.

The club currently sits sixth in the Eastern Conference of the MLS having won just twice in their last seven outing. Scoring is usually no issue as they smashed five past Columbus and four past Montreal. The problem is their own defensive weakness as they rarely keep clean sheets and have let in more than three goals more often than not in their most recent run.
Inter Miami Injuries to Consider
Per Transfermarkt, there are five different absentees. Alba, Gonzalo Lujan, Yannick Bright, Drake Callender, and David Ruiz are all sidelined.
