Our prediction for this MLS match:
Bank of America Stadium will host Saturday’s MLS game between Charlotte and Inter Miami, the two bottom-table sides. Inter Miami have been struggling to find their form of late, but it has to be noted that key player Leo Messi missed a couple of games through injury and international duty respectively. Messi is rated doubtful for the Charlotte game as he represented Argentina in a 2-0 win over Peru in midweek. All Fray, Jean, and Negri are out of contention with injuries.
The hosts, on the other hand, aim to climb to the playoffs berth and we predict that they will take advantage of Leo Messi’s absence. Both Ben Bender and Vinicius Mello are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team ahead of the visit of Inter Miami. In their last meeting at the venue Charlotte defeated Inter Miami 1-0.
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.
