Prediction: 3-1
Atlanta United
Inter Miami will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over DC United and Vancouver Whitecaps when they face Atlanta United on Thursday morning. The Herons defeated Vancouver Whitecaps without trio Suarez – Messi – Busquets, but the former Barca stars should be recalled to the starting XI against the Five Stripes. All Freire, Borgelin, Robinson, Gomez, Farias, and Fray should miss out with injuries.
Atlanta United, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Los Angeles FC and seeing that Leo Messi is back for the hosts, home win should definitely be considered. To make things even worse for the visiting team, first-choice goalkeeper Brad Guzan is banned for the match. Fellow shot-stopper Josh Cohen is widely expected to step up, whereas all Noah Cobb, Georgios Giakoumakis, and Tyler Wolff remain in the recovery room. In their last meeting at the venue Inter Miami defeated Atlanta United 2-1.
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).
