In Lionel Messi’s second season with Inter Miami, he won the MLS Supporters Shield. The guy is a serial winner. Although the contributions of Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets helped the team, Messi carried the team with his breathtaking displays. The team defeated Columbus Crew two weeks back to clinch the title. With the playoffs shaping up well, Inter Miami can afford to rest their players with the league already under their bag.

They next face the New England Revolution, a team lying in 14th position. With the gulf in quality between the two teams far more significant than others, we could see some young talents making their way into the team. Top players like Messi, Busquets, Suarez, and Alba could get a rest. David Beckham’s franchise is unbeaten in 5 games in a row. They have scored 73 goals this season as Tata Martino’s side gels like a well-oiled machine. As for New England, things are different.

They need to pick up their pace and win games so as not to finish at the bottom. They have 1 win and 4 losses in the last five games. With the game at the Chase Stadium, their away troubles could prove costly. On top of that, they conceded 2.38 goals in away matches this season. Surely, fireworks will fly as it is the last league game of the season. So without any delay, let’s look at the team news, head-to-head predictions, and injury news of Inter Miami.
