Prediction: 1-2
Inter Miami
Mercedes-Benz Stadium will host Saturday’s MLS game between Atlanta United and Inter Miami. The Herons won the first leg 2-1, with both Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba finding the net, but, as always, all eyes will be on Leo Messi in the reverse fixture. Ian Fray is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the first leg, with Noah Allen being ready to step up. Both Farias and Freire remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, are hungry for revenge and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail in order to stay in the series. As Atlanta United are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach this time out, we predict that Leo Messi and Co. will have a number of opportunities to seal the victory on the break. As a result, away win should be considered. Both Mosquera and Westberg miss out with injuries for the home side, while Pedro Amador will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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 (Atlanta United):
Atlanta United is a Major League Soccer club and they were founded on April 16, 2014. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia and they will make their debut in MLS in 2017. Arthur Blank is the club’s owner and Bobby Dodd Stadium is Atlanta United’s home ground.
Arthur Blank is an American businessman, who is well known for his ownership of the NFL club Atlanta Falcons. The venue was opened on September 27, 1913 and its’ current capacity is 60.316. However, it has to be noted that the team will play first eight home games of the 2017 season at Bobby Dodd Stadium, while the latter nine fixtures will be hosted by Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Speaking of the club’s colors, Atlanta United footballers wear black and red shirts and black shorts with a little bit of gold mixed in. Gerardo Martino, who used to be in charge of La Liga side Barcelona in the past, will coach Atlanta United in the 2017 MLS season. Tata Martino won the Spanish Super Cup with Barca, while making it to the Copa America final with Argentina on two occasions (2015, 2016).
