Preview: Midweek New England test for Inter Miami

မျှဝေရန်

Inter Miami continue their road trip on their return to Major League Soccer action following their involvement in the Club World Cup.

By James Nalton

They will be hoping to follow up a convincing win in Montreal, where Lionel Messi was on top form, with another against New England at Gillette Stadium, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night.

Ready for the second half

Inter Miami returned from the Club World Cup in style with a 4-1 win in Canada against CF Montréal.

The home side took the lead within two minutes, but any fears of a Miami hangover from the summer tournament were soon allayed.

By half-time, they were in the lead through goals from Tadeo Allende and Messi. Then, after the break, Telasco Segovia added a third and Messi scored a fourth following a typical, mazy solo run to make it a convincing win.

The goals and the performance could be an indication that Messi and Miami are ready to kick on towards the end of the season in a bid to retain their Supporters’ Shield title.

There are four games in hand for them to work with, and they are ten points off the top of the table, a position currently held by FC Cincinnati.

The Montréal game took them to the halfway point in the regular season, and they will now be looking for a strong second half of the campaign, beginning in New England.

Goals galore

Despite having played fewer games than all other teams in the Eastern Conference (in many cases, four fewer) Inter Miami have still managed to score the most goals in the conference with 40.

Only Western Conference teams San Diego FC and San Jose Earthquakes have scored more than Miami in all of MLS, and both of those Californian teams have played four games more.

It’s this attacking prowess that keeps Javier Mascherano’s team winning games even if they have not been convincing defensively.

Finding the net against New England might not be quite as easy as the league table would have you believe, as despite sitting 11th, only New York City and Philadelphia Union have conceded fewer goals than the Revolution this season.

But that Miami attack will fancy themselves to score against even the best defences in the league.

Opposition watch: New England

Carles Gil remains the standout player for the Revolution and is one of the best players in the league regardless of how well his team are doing overall.

This season, said team performance has been fairly mediocre, and they haven’t won in their last four games, losing three and drawing one.

They do have a couple of games in hand on many teams, though, so have scope to start turning things around.

Despite the below-par league position, Gil has the second-highest FotMob rating in MLS, behind Messi, of course, and has seven goals and four assists this season.

Ignatius Ganago remains out for New England, but they recently extended his loan deal from Nantes until the end of the season. The Revolution will hope Ganago can help fire them toward the playoffs once he returns, but he will not do so against Miami.

Prediction

Another Miami win against another side struggling at the lower end of the table.
