Orlando City host Inter Miami for next chapter of instate rivalry

Orlando City can settle bragging rights with Inter Miami for 2021 on Friday as the Lions host their in-state rival for the final time this season.

The Lions hold the advantage entering the match. They won the teams’ first meeting in Fort Lauderdale 3-2 back in June, but settled for a 1-1 draw in a rematch in Orlando last month.

When the teams face off on Friday — kicking off at 8:30 p.m. ET with a live broadcast on ESPN — both will have a chance for the final say in the series for this season.

The match comes at a critical point of the season as Inter Miami looks to ride a midseason wave of momentum into a playoff spot.
