Inter Miami will commence their 2024 Major League Soccer campaign by hosting Real Salt Lake at the DRV PNK Stadium on Wednesday.
Last season was challenging for the home side, and they aim to showcase improvement this year, especially after a lackluster off-season with just one victory in eight friendly matches.
In their final pre-season encounter, Inter Miami drew 1-1 against Newell's Old Boys, initially looking poised for victory with Shanyder Borgelin's goal before conceding an equalizer late in the game.
Real Salt Lake, on the other hand, had a decent MLS season last year, securing a fifth-place finish in the Western Conference, their best since 2019. Despite starting the pre-season with a loss to Brondby, they bounced back with wins against Fredrikstad and Klaksvik before drawing 1-1 against Toronto FC.
Following Wednesday's match, Real Salt Lake will face St. Louis City on Sunday for their second league fixture.
Key numbers show that Wednesday's game will be the first-ever meeting between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake. Inter Miami has kept only two clean sheets in their last 15 games across all competitions, while Real Salt Lake collected 28 points on the road last season, second only to Orlando City.
Predictions suggest that Inter Miami, despite recent winless outings, may struggle to secure victory against Real Salt Lake, who have shown improved form with two wins and a draw in their last three games. However, Real Salt Lake's road performance remains a concern, potentially opening the door for an upset on the opening day.
