We said: New York City FC 1-0 Inter Miami

If Pozuelo is unavailable, that is a massive break for the home side, as he has been instrumental to the Herons' success in possession, creating several high-quality scoring opportunities since his arrival in a mid-season trade with TFC. Whether he plays, we are still giving NYCFC the edge because they seem to have cleaned up their defensive issues, and their experience from last year's run to the MLS Cup should help them settle into this match a lot quicker than Miami.
