Our prediction for this MLS match:
TQL Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Cincinnati and Inter Miami, the two teams who sit in the bottom half of the table. Cincinnati aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to New England (1-4) and Columbus (2-3), with the team eyeing their first MLS win since June 27, 2021. The hosts are eager to get back on course, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field.
Keep in mind, though, that all Bailey, Gyau, Harris, and van der Werff have been struggling with injuries of late. Inter Miami, on the other hand, did well to hold Orlando City to a goalless draw at the weekend. Gonzalo Higuain and Co, though, struggle on the road, and that is the main reason why we are going to put our money on the hosts. Former Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs is likely to miss the game through injury.
Highlighted Player (Haris Medunjanin):
After spending four seasons at AZ Alkmaar, Haris Medunjanin joined Spanish side Valladolid and he appeared in 42 league games for Pucela. The Bosnian midfielder played for the likes of Sparta Rotterdam, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Gaziantepspor in the past as well and in 2014 he returned to Spain, signing a contract with La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna.
Medunjanin scored two goals in 24 league appearances for the Galician outfit and in 2016 he joined his former club Maccabi Tel Aviv on a one-and-a-half-year deal. The left-footed footballer, who was born on March 8, 1985 won two European Championship titles with Netherlands U-21 team (2006, 2007), but he decided to represent Bosnian and Herzegovina on senior level.
He made his first start for the Balkan Dragons in a 1-0 loss to Portugal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup play-off match. Haris Medunjanin currently plays for Philadelphia Union and his contract with the MLS club expires on January 31, 2017.
