Our prediction for this MLS match:
Chase Stadium will host Sunday’s game between Inter Miami and Colorado Rapids, the two teams who meet for the first time in the Major League Soccer. Inter Miami played out a 1-1 draw with New York City at the weekend, with new signing Luis Suarez finding the net in Leo Messi’s absence. As the Argentina superstar remains in the recovery room alongside Redondo, Kryvtsov, Freire, Robinson, Cremaschi, Farias, and Fray, home win should not be considered.
The Rapids, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Los Angeles FC, but beating Inter Miami on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils at Chase Stadium. All Jonathan Lewis, Jasper Loffelsend, Connor Ronan, and Daniel Chacon are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):
Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.
Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.
In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.
Highlighted Team (Colorado Rapids):
Colorado Rapids is a Major League Soccer club and they compete in the USA professional soccer league as a member of the Western Conference. Colorado began their play in MLS back in 1996 and 14 years later they managed to win the MLS Cup trophy. The Rapids recorded a 2-1 win over FC Dallas in the final of the tournament, with George John scoring the winner for Gary Smith’s team in the extra time. Colorado made it to the MLS Cup final in 1997 as well, but D.C. United proved to be a big catch for the club in the title game.
The Rapids play their home games at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and the venue has been Colorado’s home ground since 2007. It has to be noted that the likes of Tim Howard, Carlos Valderama, Claudio Lopez and Jermaine Jones were all part of the club in the past. Colorado’s colors are red, sky blue and white, but they were yellow shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
