Game Preview

Lionel Messi is reportedly struggling with a hamstring injury, which isn’t too serious, but to make sure it won’t trouble him again, he will need to take some rest in the next week or so. He’s already missed a couple of Inter Miami’s games this season, most notably, the one last weekend against DC United.

He wasn’t there, but his teammates had no problems doing well on their own. Leonardo Campana and Luis Suarez had a fantastic game, helping Inter Miami win 3-1. Still, the best player on the pitch was Miami’s goalkeeper Drake Callender.

We expect him to do great this coming Saturday as well. Not only is he in great shape, but the New York Red Bulls aren’t too impressive offensively. For example, in their most recent game – a 3–0 loss to Columbus Crew – they had only three attempts on goal.

New York Red Bulls vs. Inter Miami Prediction

In the previous round, Inter Miami proved that this team isn’t a one-man army. The Herons can do without Messi, and we think they’re going to do it again. We think they’re going to beat the Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
