Top games to watch on matchday 12 in Major League Soccer
Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls: Many eyes will be on Saturday's fixture featuring Inter Miami and the New York Red Bulls, as it was not too long ago that the Red Bulls handed the Herons a humiliating 4-0 defeat. However, Inter Miami, who will be hosting this game, have been in great form recently, with three consecutive wins helping them to reclaim top spot in the Eastern Conference. Naturally, the return of Lionel Messi from an injury lay-off has definitely been a huge boost, as he was directly involved in three of his team's four goals during a 4-1 win over New England Revolution recently.
Meanwhile, the Red Bulls may have won just one of their lats five games but are unbeaten in their last six MLS ties heading into this contest - so they could potentially pose a threat to their upcoming hosts who are seeking to put some more distance between themselves and the rest of the table.

Orlando City vs Cincinnati: Cincinnati have not had the easiest 2024 season so far as they aim to replicate their impressive feats from last term that saw them win their first ever Supporters' Shield. However, they come into their match against Orlando City just three points behind Eastern Conference leaders Inter Miami thanks to having won their last two games on the trot.
As for Orlando City, they appear to be going in the opposite direction. After a strong start, things have started to go awry for the Lions, and they will welcome Cincinnati having failed to win their last two games which has seen them slide down into the bottom half of the table.

Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy: Last round, Seattle Sounders ended a three game winless streak with a hard fought 3-2 win over Philadelphia Union. Can they use that as a spring board to start working their way up the table when the Galaxy come to town on Sunday? The Galaxy, for their part, come into this match having suffered a 2-0 loss to Austin last time out, but are still joint-tied for top spot in the Western Conference with Salt Lake. However, given that they will be playing later in this round, they could find themselves dropping back down to fourth even before taking to the pitch on Sunday.
