Our prediction for this MLS match:
Sunday’s football game at Yankee Stadium pits together New York City and Inter Miami. The Blue Pigeons are eager to record their first win of the season, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Inter Miami. It has to be noted that all James Sands, Mitja Ilenic, and Tayvon Gray have been struggling with injuries of late.
The Herons, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record in the 2023 MLS campaign intact, but seeing that New York City are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on over draw. Finland midfielder Robert Taylor is pushing for a start after sealing the victory against Philadelphia, whereas all Corentin Jean, Noah Allen, Edison Azcona, and Ian Fray remain on the sidelines with injuries. A man to watch in the away team will be new signing Josef Martinez, who is eager to open his goal-scoring account.
Highlighted Player (Alfredo Morales):
Alfredo Morales is an American football player who was born in Berlin on 12 May, 1990. The USA midfielder moved to Germany as a boy and he played for the likes of BSC Reinickendorf 21, Borussia Pankow, FC Concordia Wilhelmsruh and Hertha BSC during his youth career.
Morales played 81 games for Hertha II at senior level, scoring 11 league goals for the capital club. He made 20 appearances for the first team as well, but in 2013 he joined Ingolstadt on a two-year deal. Alfredo Morales was eligible to play for both Germany and USA, but he decided to represent the Yanks on the international level.
The 183-cm-tall midfielder made his USA debut on 29 January, 2013 against Canada. He came as a substitute 15 minutes before the final whistle. It has to be noted that Morales represented United States of America at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both centre back and a defensive midfielder.
