Prediction: 3-1
New York Red Bulls
Inter Miami will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in all competitions when they face New York Red Bulls on Sunday morning. The Herons have suffered a dip in form, but with Leo Messi up front, they are surely capable of returning to winning ways this weekend. Honduras midfielder David Ruiz remains doubtful, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Metros, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over CF Montreal, but they will have a mountain to climb against the hungry-for-success Herons. In their last meeting at the venue, Inter Miami rolled over New York Red Bulls 6-2 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Edelman, Morales, and Nealis are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while Norwegian forward Dennis Gjengaar is pushing for a recall to the starting XI. German tactician Sandro Schwarz is likely to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
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 (New York Red Bulls):
New York Red Bulls is the first club from New York City to join Major League Soccer. In 2006 the club was sold to Red Bull GmbH and, as a result, they are nicknamed the Red Bulls. New York welcome their rivals at Red Bull Arena and the team’s home colors are white and red.
On the other hand, the Red Bulls wear dark blue shirts and yellow shorts on the road. In 2008 New York Red Bulls made it to the MLS Cup final, but they were not capable of matching Columbus Crew (1-3) in the Home Depot Center clash. A number of top-class footballers were part of the team in the past, but former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry is the synonym of the club.
Henry scored 51 goals in 122 league games for New York Red Bulls from 2010 to 2014 and it has to be noted that he scored his first MLS hat-trick in a 5-2 victory over Montreal Impact on March 31, 2012. The likes of Youri Djorkaeff, Lothar Matthaus, Roberto Donadoni, Rafael Marquez, Juninho and Tim Cahill played for the club in the past as well.
