Overview
- Inter Miami and Palmeiras both sit on four points with Palmeiras leading on goal difference before their June 24 group decider at Hard Rock Stadium.
- Coach Javier Mascherano emphasized an attacking strategy by insisting Miami will pursue a win rather than settle for the draw that guarantees knockout qualification.
- A draw guarantees both sides a knockout spot, while defeat would hand Porto or Al Ahly—each on one point—a chance to advance.
- Miami will be without starting goalkeeper Drake Callender due to a hernia and will rely on Oscar Ustari, while Palmeiras must cope without winger Bruno Rodrigues who is sidelined by a knee injury.
- The winner of Group A will face Group B runner-up, currently Botafogo, in the Club World Cup round of 16.
