3️⃣ games you must watch in MLS this weekend | OneFootball

MLS is back after the mini-break for Leagues Cup. All teams are back in action as the business end of the season truly arrives.

With just 10 matchdays remaining, the stakes in each game have been raised significantly.

Here are three games you must tune in for this weekend.

Orlando City vs Inter Miami

It's always a hot ticket when Inter Miami take the pitch, but the stakes are raised when they square off with Florida rivals Orlando City on Sunday.

Both sides are in fine form after qualifying for the Leagues Cup knockouts, but back in MLS they are separated by only point in the Eastern Conference standings (though Miami have a whopping three games in hand).

Attacking prowess is the name of the game on Sunday, as both teams boast prolific offensive forces. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have combined for 42 goals/assists this season, while Orlando trio Martin Ojeda, Ramiro Enrique, and Marco Pašalić have combined for 48 of their own.

LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders

The other two MLS representatives in the Leagues Cup quarter-finals square off Sunday evening, and while the Galaxy's struggles in the league have been ever-lasting, this matchup remains a classic MLS showdown.

The two sides are separated by 22 points in the Western Conference standings, but with superb showings in the Leagues Cup, they return to MLS action as two of the hottest teams in the league.

The Galaxy are perhaps well out of playoff contention, but the talent of Gabriel Pec, Marco Reus, and Joseph Paintsil is going to make them a threat in any game.

Meanwhile, Seattle just keep ticking along like they normally do. They finished the Leagues Cup campaign with three wins from three, and a goal differential of +9. They are the definition of hot.

Chicago Fire vs LAFC

Well, there is one obvious reason to tune into this game at Soldier Field on Saturday — it could be the first time we get to see Son Heung-min in an LAFC jersey.

The Korean made the MLS-record move to Los Angeles from Tottenham Hotspur this week, and pending a visa approval, should be involved in the game against Chicago on Saturday.

LAFC remain 10 points out of first place in the Western Conference, but they hold three games in hand in their back pocket.

The addition of Son could provide the spark they have been looking for since the Club World Cup.
