Prediction: 2-1
Inter Miami
Mercedes-Benz Arena will host Thursday’s MLS game between Atlanta United and Inter Miami. The Five Stripes suffered a 1-0 loss at Philadelphia at the weekend, but they are on a three-game winning run at home ahead of the visit of Inter Miami. Both Hyndman and Sejdic are sidelined with injuries, while Argentina international Ibarra is a major doubt. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Josef Martinez, who has been producing fine displays in the Major League Soccer ever since he returned from injury.
As for the visitors, they have been struggling at the back of late. Since Inter Miami conceded nine goals in total in back-to-back defeats to Nashville (1-5) and New York Red Bulls (0-4), we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. All Alvarado, Fray, and Jones miss out with injuries for the away team, while Figal returns from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Josef Martinez):
Josef Martinez started his senior career at Caracas, but he made no more than 36 league appearances for the Venezuelan outfit from 2010 to 2012. Martinez then moved to Europe and the 170-cm tall striker scored 4 goals in 34 appearances for the capital club. In the 2013/2014 season he played for fellow Swiss outfit Thun (on loan) and on June 7, 2014 he signed a contract with Serie A team Torino.
In December, 2017 Josef Martinez scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight in a 2-2 draw with Palermo. The Venezuela international currently plays (on loan) for Atlanta United in MLS and he made his debut for Gerardo Martino’s team against New York Red Bulls. Speaking of his international career, Martinez made his Venezuela debut against El Salvador, coming from the bench after 76 minutes.
On November 10, 2016 he scored a hat-trick for La Vinotinto in a thrilling 5-0 victory over Bolivia and it has to be noted that he has four caps (two goals) for Venezuela U20 team.
