New York Red Bulls v Inter Miami, Lineups & Betting Tips

Match Details: July 20, 2025 | Sports Illustrated Stadium | MLS | 00:30 GMT

New York Red Bulls host Inter Miami at Red Bull Arena this Sunday evening in a captivating Eastern Conference matchup. The Red Bulls, currently sitting eighth with 33 points from 23 games, have rediscovered their scoring touch at home, finding the net in every one of their last 10 home matches and maintaining an unbeaten home streak in five league games.

Inter Miami, meanwhile, remain third in the table with 38 points, fresh off a surprise 3‑0 loss at Cincinnati that snapped their six‑match unbeaten run. Despite that midweek setback, the visitors still boast the Eastern Conference’s most potent attack, averaging 2.2 goals per game away, frequently led by Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez.

However, despite holding a strong record at home, the Red Bulls will be the underdogs when they welcome Messi and co on Sunday.
