Inter Miami will look to extend their winning streak to six matches when they travel to face CF Montreal on Saturday night.
Luis Suarez scored twice as Miami (10-2-4, 34 points) defeated the Chicago Fire 3-2 on Wednesday night in their first match following the World Cup break. The forward has now scored five goals in his last two regular-season matches, following a hat trick against Philadelphia on May 24.
Miami has earned points in all but two contests this season entering Saturday's match.
"I really want to congratulate not just one individual, but the entire squad," interim coach Guillermo Hoyos said. "They've done an outstanding job throughout this entire period, and we've been doing things very well."
Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul are not expected to travel to Montreal as they rest following Argentina's run to the World Cup final.
Montreal's Struggles Continue
Montreal (4-9-3, 15 points) will look to return to winning form after collecting just one of a possible six points since the World Cup break. Philippe Eullaffroy's squad lost 1-0 in Nashville on Wednesday and is currently on a five-match winless streak (0-2-3). Montreal has not recorded a league victory since a 2-0 decision over Orlando City on May 9.
Recent Transactions
On Friday, Montreal announced the acquisition of defender Brayan Ceballos from the New England Revolution in exchange for:
- $500,000 in General Allocation Money (2026)
- $250,000 in GAM (2027)
- Up to $100,000 in conditional GAM
"Brayan is a reliable and versatile defender who can play effectively in a variety of systems, making him an important addition to our roster," said Luca Saputo, Montreal's managing director of recruitment and sporting methodology. "His strengths will complement those already present in our defensive unit."
In a separate transaction, the club acquired up to $625,000 in General Allocation Money from San Diego FC in exchange for defender Dagur Dan Thorhallsson.

Saturday's match is the first of two meetings between the clubs this season. They will meet again in Florida on Aug. 29. Last season, Miami swept the two-match series, outscoring Montreal 8-3.
