My Prediction
Inter Miami CF by 2I've got to tell you, folks -- sorry, strike that folks bit -- this match is shaping up to be a real humdinger. We've got Lionel Messi on one side, easily the sharpest tool in the shed for Inter Miami, with a fetching 9.23 rating and 6 goals under that well-known belt of his.
Serving as Inter Miami's last fortress, goalkeeper Óscar Ustari has been solid, with a rating of 7.47 and 13 saves so far. Now that's a man you can bet your house on, hypothetically speaking, of course.
The other brutes from Inter Miami not to sleep on are Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez. Not exactly new on the block, these guys. But they do have a knack for keeping the ball on the velvet, boasting ridiculously high passing accuracies.
On the opposite side, you've got the Red Bulls. Let's not glorify matters; they're a little shaky. Goaltender Carlos Coronel, score-wise, isn't exactly setting the world on fire with a rating of 6.53 and only 7 saves this season.
In terms of player power, the Red Bulls have Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting displaying a noteworthy performance with a rating of 7.43, and popping 1 goal and a horde of shots on goal. Emil Forsberg's been no slouch, either, with 2 goals and a decent enough rating.
When it comes to history, Inter Miami seems to have the upper hand. Their last five bouts saw Miami winning thrice against Red Bulls. That's something worth brooding over.
A quick glance at the regular season records reveals Inter Miami standing tall with 11 wins, while Red Bulls slightly hobbled with only 8 victories. The recent form underlines it - Miami has been playing tic-tac-toe with their wins while Red Bulls have been experiencing more tie situations than an uptight Wall Street suit.
Given all these juicy tidbits, I think it's pretty clear how the wind is blowing.
