Here's what Inter Miami needs to accomplish in the upcoming games to secure a spot in the MLS play-offs.
An interesting twist in Inter Miami's favor is the number of games played. Most of the teams that are ahead of Miami in the standings have played at least two more games. This essentially gives Inter Miami games in hand that could be crucial in the long run.
For a more specific point of reference, the ninth-place finishers in the Eastern Conference had 42 and 47 points in the 2022 and 2021 seasons, respectively. To err on the side of caution, aiming for the 47-point benchmark seems prudent for Inter Miami. Any loss at this stage would severely dent their chances of making the playoffs.The Herons currently have two games in hand on ninth-place D.C. United, who are eight points ahead.
Despite the excitement surrounding Messi's arrival and a string of positive results, Inter Miami has quite the mountain to climb to reach the MLS playoffs. The team will have to average around two points per game in the remaining fixtures and will need to do this while missing key players during international breaks. While the task is daunting, the recent performance suggests that it is not entirely out of reach. Herons fans will certainly be watching with bated breath.
