Prediction: 1-2
Inter Miami
New York City will look to bounce back from a massive 5-1 loss to Philadelphia Union when they take on Inter Miami on Saturday evening. The Blue Pigeons have been struggling at the back of late, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Veteran midfielder Maxi Moralez is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while defender Strahinja Tanasijevic serves a one-game ban.
The Herons, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun ever since Leo Messi returned form injury. Given New York City’s shaky defence, we predict that Messi and Co. are going to pick up all three points from the match. The Argentina superstar returns to the starting XI as well as former Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets, who served a one-game ban in a 2-2 draw with Atlanta United. Ecuador forward Leonardo Campana is banned for the match.
Highlighted Player (Lionel Messi):
Lionel Messi is regarded as one of the best players in the history of football. He was born on 24 June, 1987 in Rosario and he began his football career at Newell’s Old Boys. At age 10 he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, but having realized his potential at a young age, Barcelona decided to pay for his treatment.
Messi joined Barca in 2001 and he has been playing for the Camp Nou outfit ever since. The Argentine magician has won eight La Liga trophies with Barca and he helped the Catalan giants lift no less than four Champions League titles (2005/2006, 2008/2009, 2010/2011, 2014/2015).
In the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign Messi scored 50 goals for Barca, while netting 14 goals in the 2011/2012 Champions League campaign. The five-time Golden Ball award winner has established himself as Barcelona’s all-time top scorer, but he has yet to win a trophy with Argentina national team at major tournaments. Leo Messi, though, has won Olympic Gold Medal (2008) and FIFA World Youth Championship (2005), with la Albiceleste.
Highlighted Team (New York City):
New York City are an American soccer club and they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2015. The Pigeons play their home games at Yankee Stadium and they are the second club in New York after the New York Red Bulls.
Famous Arsenal player Patrick Vieira took over the reins in January, 2016 and he helped the team finish the season in second place in the Eastern Conference. However, they were totally outclassed by Toronto FC (0-7 on aggregate) in the conference semifinals.
New York City chiefs have been pumping up a lot of money into the squad ever since the team began play in MLS and it has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo and David Villa played for the Pigeons in the 2016 season. New York City footballers wear sky blue shirts when playing at home, while the colour of the team’s away kit is dark blue.
Companies City Football Group (80%) and Yankee Global Enterprises own the club.
