My Prediction
Inter Miami CF by 2Inter Miami CF seem to be firm favorites as they have been enjoying a solid run of form lately, unlike the New England Revolution, who, well, appear to be caught in a bit of a downward spiral. When you consider Drake Callender between the sticks for Miami, boasting a respectable 6.85 rating and 9 saves, it's clear why they're favorites. This contrasts with Henrich Ravas, the Revolution's net guardian, who despite a marginally better rating of 6.93, has a team in front of him that's struggling to wrangle positive results.
In terms of firepower, Miami has an embarrassment of riches, Lionel Messi leads the pack with a rating of 9.03, 4 goals, 8 shots on goal and an accurate pass rate of 83.7% all under his belt. Partner in crime Diego Gómez isn't far behind either, boasting a solid performance with a 7.67 rating, 1 goal and 2 shots on target accompanied by an 80.9% accurate pass rate. To round off this trio of terror, you've got Luis Suárez, a veteran who still packs a punch, a 7.10 rating, 2 goals, and 9 shots on goal with a reasonable pass accuracy of 75.9%.
On the other side of the grass, New England's shining star seems to be Carles Gil, with a 7.70 rating highlighting his influence, coupled with 1 goal and 4 shots on goal reflecting his intent. Ryan Spaulding and Ian Harkes offer some semblance of support with their 7.00 and 6.95 ratings respectively.
Remember those past meetups? Ah, good times. Our last memory was of a decisive 3-1 win by New England, but that was quite the aberration given their recent form. And looking at their season record, a rather uninspiring 1-1-6, I feel a chill going down their spines already. Funny, that's the same chill I got looking at Miami's recent run of victories, pulling a hat trick of wins out of the bag against Nashville SC, Sporting KC and their soon-to-be-adversaries, the Revolution. Their season record sports a confident 5-3-2.
So, yep, you've guessed it. It looks like we could be set for a rather one-sided affair.
