Inter Miami at New England Tonight: The League's Best Attack Meets the Revs at Gillette Stadium

Inter Miami closes its weekend on the road Sunday night, visiting the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium with kickoff at 7 p.m. Eastern on Apple TV, the club's official preview says. The table makes it a heavyweight undercard to the Dolphins' afternoon: New England is 18-10-4 with 58 points, Miami 15-6-11 with 56, and the two sides are separated by one result with the playoffs next.

Miami arrives off a point that felt like a rescue. Wednesday's 2-2 home draw with FC Cincinnati was secured by Luis Suarez and by Riquelme Fillipi, whose goal was his first as an Inter Miami player, at Nu Stadium. The attack remains the story of Miami's season: 75 goals in 32 regular-season games, the most in MLS and eight more than the next highest-scoring side. Lionel Messi, the reigning league MVP and Golden Boot winner, leads both the team and the league with 25 goals, and Rodrigo De Paul leads the team with 16 assists, tied for second among the league's assist providers.

History leans Miami's way, recent form leans New England's. Sunday is the 12th meeting between the clubs; Miami leads the series seven wins to three with one draw, and is unbeaten in the past five meetings - four wins and a draw, the latest a 1-1 draw in April at Nu Stadium. But the Revs host on a run of three straight regular-season wins, and their engine is Carles Gil, who leads New England with 13 goals and 13 assists in 32 appearances.

The desk will file the final from Foxborough after the 7 p.m. kickoff. For Miami, the math from the club's own preview is the cleanest frame: the league's best attack, its top scorer, and a two-point gap to the team directly in front of it - all of it settled in one night at Gillette.
