Our prediction for this MLS match:
New England Revolution and Inter Miami face each other at Gillette Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Herons continue relying on Argentina superstar Leo Messi, who scored a brace in a 3-1 win over Nashville, while Fellow veteran Luis Suarez will continue leading the line for the visitors. The likes of Diego Gomez, Jordi Alba, Leonardo Campana, Robert Taylor, Federico Redondo, Sergiy Kryvtson, Robbie Robinson, Facundo Farias, and Ian Fray miss out with injuries.
The Revs, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three games in all competitions. As aforementioned superstar Messi has found his goal-scoring touch of late, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s encounter. All Noel Buck, Thomas McNamara, DeJuan Jones, Jonathan Mensah, Dylan Borrero, Peyton Miller, and Brandon Bye are injured for the home team.
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 England Revolution):
Unlike famous NFL club New England Patriots, the Revolution have yet to win the domestic trophy. New England participated five times in the MLS Cup final, but they were more than fortunate not to lift the silverware. The Revs played their last final in 2014, with the team losing to LA Galaxy in the title game at StubHub Center. New England Revolution, though, clinched the North American SuperLiga trophy in 2008 and that is considered as the club’s biggest success.
It has to be noted that the Revs defeated Houston Dynamo on penalties in the final of the tournament. New England Revolution were founded in 1994 and Gillette Stadium is the home ground of the club. Legendary defender Alexi Lalas played for the Revolution (1996-1997) and he scored three goals for the Gillette Stadium outfit. Fellow USA ace Clint Dempsey was part of the team as well and you should know that he netted 25 goals in 71 league appearances for the club.
