Rock-bottom Inter Miami host MLS Eastern Conference playoff contenders Columbus Crew on Tuesday, as the two clubs clash in Fort Lauderdale.
While Inter responded to the impending arrival of new coach Tata Martino by ending their losing run at the weekend, the Crew have won five of their last six games to storm up the standings.
We say: Inter Miami 1-1 Columbus Crew
Despite starting favourites to take three points home from Miami, Columbus Crew have won just two from nine on the road so far in 2023 - conceding plenty of goals in the process. So, after a spirited performance helped Inter pick up a point at the weekend, they can defy expectation and repeat that feat on Tuesday.

Aiming to stay on track for a playoff place, Orlando City host MLS Eastern Conference strugglers Toronto at Exploria Stadium on Tuesday.
Ending a three-match winless run at the weekend saw the Orange County club consolidate a top-six place, while their Canadian counterparts were beaten at home and remain second-bottom of the standings.
We say: Orlando City 1-0 Toronto
As Toronto have only scored seven away goals and are yet to win on the road, a team under interim management and shorn of several international stars is set to come up short once more. Orlando seemed to find their rhythm during Saturday's convincing win and will surely score at least once.

Dallas will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in MLS when they continue their campaign at home to DC United on Tuesday night.
The home side will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 victory over Los Angeles FC, while DC United suffered a 2-0 loss to Nashville SC in their last match.
We say: Dallas 1-0 DC United
Dallas have been strong at home this season, winning six of their 10 matches, and we are expecting them to pick up another three points here. DC United were disappointing against Nashville last time out, and we are finding it difficult to back Rooney's side to pick up a positive result in this match.

Two teams struggling towards the bottom of the Western Conference in the MLS will lock horns on Tuesday, with Colorado Rapids welcoming Portland Timbers to DSG Park.
The home side are rock bottom of the table on 14 points from 20 games, while Portland occupy 12th position, picking up 22 points from their opening 21 matches of the campaign.
We say: Colorado Rapids 1-1 Portland Timbers
Colorado have shared the points in five of their nine home league games this season, while Portland have won just once on their travels. We are therefore finding it difficult to back either side with any real confidence here, with a low-scoring draw the most likely outcome on Tuesday.

The 20th instalment of 'El Trafico' takes place at Rose Bowl on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Galaxy host local adversaries Los Angeles FC in a Fourth of July MLS offering.
Greg Vanney's charges enter the derby on the back of an enthralling 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes, while their 'visitors' were subjected to a 2-0 loss to Dallas.
We say: Los Angeles Galaxy 2-2 Los Angeles FC
No matter the territory, Los Angeles Galaxy have shown quite the affinity for sharing the spoils in recent weeks, and they are no stranger to high-scoring affairs in El Trafico.
Having scored at least twice in each of their last six Los Angeles showdowns, Vanney's side can feel optimistic of doing so again - especially with Los Angeles FC leaking goals at an alarming rate - but with bragging rights and their podium spot at stake, we can envisage the champions earning a point in another entertaining derby.
