Why you should back Orlando City

The Lions face an Inter Miami side that will be without Lionel Messi. The global superstar sat out Saturday's loss at Atlanta United with muscle fatigue and was subbed off in the first half of Inter Miami's 4-0 victory over Toronto FC on Wednesday. Manager Tata Martino already has ruled Messi out of Sunday's match. His absence is a huge loss for the Herons, who have nine wins, four draws, and one loss across all competitions since Messi's arrival in July.

In addition, Inter Miami have hemorrhaged goals this season. The Herons have conceded 44 goals in 28 games. Their 1.57 goals-against average is the fourth worst in the entire league, behind only the LA Galaxy (1.67), Charlotte (1.61) and Austin (1.59). See picks at SportsLine

Why you should back Inter Miami

Leonardo Campana is on a roll for the Herons. The 23-year-old forward from Ecuador has scored five goals in his last four matches and leads the team in goals for the season (nine) in MLS play. Earlier this month, he scored a brace in back-to-back matches, bringing his total to three braces on the year. He also is one of just four MLS players with multiple Player of the Matchday honors this season.

In addition, Inter Miami have proven they can win without Messi. On Wednesday against Toronto, Messi was subbed off in the 37th minute with the match scoreless. The Herons proceeded to score four goals, including two from Robert Taylor, to earn a crucial three points. See picks at SportsLine
