Prediction: 1-1
Inter Miami
Buoyed by a thrilling 5-0 win over Cincinnati, Austin will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Miami on Sunday evening. Austin impressed in their opener, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to book their place in the playoffs. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team. The opposition defenders should have Paraguay international Cecilio Dominguez at bay as he scored a brace in the opening match of the season.
Inter Miami, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Chicago at the weekend. Gonzalo Higuain should continue to lead the line for the visitors, while all Nick Marsman, Joevin Hones, Victor Ulloa, and Ian Fray remain in the recovery room. Since Austin are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
Highlighted Player (Blaise Matuidi):
Often described as fierce and strong tackler, Blaise Matuidi is one of the PSG’s engines in the centre of the park. Having begun his career at amateur and semi-professional clubs, the 29-year-old midfielder broke onto the big stage in 2004 when he signed for Troyes.
After a three-season spell he was transferred to Saint-Etienne where he played 132 league appearances in four years before signing with PSG. Although a midfielder tasked with ruining rivals’ play and providing support to his team mates from the back, Blaise Matuidi has a knack for scoring important goals. In 2015 Blaise Matuidi scored in a 2-1 win over Montpeiller to confirm a third consecutive French League title for his club after which he was named in the UNFP Ligue 1 Team of the Year for the second time in his career.
The 29-year-old is a national team regular who took part in France’s Euro 2016 campaign giving his contribution to the team’s road to the final of the competition.
