Inter Miami hosts Jamaican side Cavalier SC in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League round of 16, and superstar forward Lionel Messi should be well-rested for the home team.
Messi was held out of Miami's away match over the weekend against the Houston Dynamo, and while that was much to the disappointment of the audience at that game, it should benefit the Herons in this midweek matchup.
Cavalier SC finished second in the Jamaica Premier League last season with a league-best +31 goal differential, and this will be their first match in this season's CONCACAF Champions Cup. The team currently sits fourth in the Jamaica Premier Leagues, and their 21-year-old forward Jalmaro Calvin is the league's second-leading scorer with 13 goals in 25 appearances.
Inter Miami vs. Cavalier SC will be broadcast on FOX Sports 2, available via cable TV and live TV streaming apps such as YouTubeTV and FuboTV.
Inter Miami vs. Cavalier SC is scheduled to kick off at 8 PM ET/7 PM CT on Thursday, March 6th from Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
