The second full week of action for MLS teams is set to begin this Saturday, with enticing matchups and some heated rivalries that deserve to be highlighted.
Only Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake have played two games this season since they played the season opener. On the other side, Vancouver Whitecaps will be making their debut in the competition this week after being handed a bye last weekend.
It will be interesting to see how things unfold with Messi and Co., who claimed four points in their two matches last week, giving glimpses of Messi's massive talent but also showing some chinks on Inter Miami's armor.
Other teams to keep an eye on are, without a doubt, the two teams that played for the MLS Cup last year: Columbus Crew and Los Angeles FC. Both teams kicked off their run in the competition with a win, and they are expected to be top contenders to win the Supporters' Shield and the MLS Cup.
Here are the main things to keep in mind ahead of this weekend's matches.

Top games to watch
Minnesota United vs Columbus Crew - The defending champions will kick things off for Matchday 2 with a tough game against Minnesota United. The Crew defeated Atlanta United in their first game, and now they make a trip to Allianz Field, where they lost in their most recent game there, back in 2019. On the other hand, Minnesota enter their first home game of the season after defeating Austin FC last week, which made them one of four teams from the Western Conference who won their first game of the season.

Inter Miami vs Orlando City - The Herons return to their stadium with an unbeaten run to uphold, but beating Orlando City will not be an easy task. The team led by Lionel Messi was not as dominant as fans and experts expected in their two previous games, which gives Orlando City a chance to shock the pink and black side. Orlando City will be looking to score their first goal of the season, while Inter Miami will try to add one more win to their tally at home against Orlando, which stands at four wins prior to Saturday's game.

Real Salt Lake vs Los Angeles FC - Real Salt Lake only managed to claim one point in their two games last week, and now they get to face the tough Black and Gold side, who won their previous fixture despite Carlos Vela's exit. The hosts have lost four games in a row against Los Angeles when playing at America First Field, and judging by their form prior to their game, it seems highly unlikely to see that streak coming to an end.
