Dallas Faces Miami Amid Injuries and Lineup Changes

Chase Stadium, Miami, FL – FC Dallas is set to clash with Inter Miami CF on Sunday, April 28, 2025, at 5:00 PM ET. Dallas, currently ranked 10th in the Western Conference, is looking to improve their 12 points record (3-3-3) against the 5th place Miami, which boasts 18 points (5-0-3).

After suffering a disappointing 2-0 loss to Vancouver in the Concacaf Champions League semifinals earlier this week, Miami’s superstar lineup, including Lionel Messi, may see some rotation to rest key players ahead of the second leg of the semifinal next week. Coach Javier Mascherano has hinted at potential lineup changes, especially after the veterans, including Messi and Sergio Busquets, played full matches recently.

FC Dallas head coach Eric Quill is facing a challenging injury situation with several key players sidelined. Among the absentees are Léo Chú, Marco Farfan, Geovane Jesus, and others. However, there is some optimism as Paxton Pomykal has been upgraded to questionable after dealing with a knee injury.

The history between these two teams adds intrigue to the match. In their last encounter during the 2023 Leagues Cup, Miami edged out Dallas in a penalty shootout following a thrilling 4-4 match. Dallas has a 2-0-1 all-time record against Miami, but this matchup presents a unique challenge for them as they seek to secure points on the road.

Dallas enters this match following a gritty 0-0 draw with Minnesota United, adding to their solid away performance this season. Remarkably, Dallas has yet to concede a goal from outside the penalty area or from set pieces. Meanwhile, Inter Miami remains unbeaten in league play, boasting an impressive record so far this season.

Kickoff is anticipated to be competitive, with Dallas looking for a much-needed win and Miami hoping to bounce back after their Champions League setback. The match can be streamed on MLS Season Pass available on Apple TV.
