New England Revolution vs Inter Miami- Expected Lineups, Injuries, Team News, Predictions, Head-to-Head Stats, Live Streaming & How to Watch Lionel Messi on TV

It’s a case of David against Goliath as 1st seeded Inter Miami takes on 14th ranked side New England Revolution. The Herons have been in ominous form recently and have won all of their matches following their Champions Cup exit. Lionel Messi, who seems to have overcome his injury worries has been leading from the front. In the last two games, the playmaker has scored 3 goals while setting up countless chances for his teammates. Can the New England Revolution put an end to Messi’s magic?

What could help the Boston-based side is the home advantage. 65000 people are expected to turn up at Gilette stadium tomorrow, making it the most attended match in the stadium’s history. However, that alone won’t be enough as New England Revolution are winless in their last 3 games. Also, the side has an issue scoring goals with just 5 strikes in 8 games. Can they overcome the shortcomings tomorrow?

Team and Injury News

Injuries haven’t been kind to the Revs. For tomorrow, they will be without Jonathan Mensah (hamstring), Dylan Borrero (Knee), and Brandon Bye (knee). Moreover, the availability of Noel Buck is also uncertain as the midfielder suffered a knock recently.

Inter Miami also has its own share of injury absentees. The likes of Serhiy Kryvstov (muscle), Robert Taylor (muscle), Leo Campana (leg), and Federico Redondo (knee ligament) remain sidelined for tomorrow’s game. However, the big blow is undoubtedly the absence of Jordi Alba. The Spaniard recently suffered a hamstring issue and will be on the sidelines for nearly 6 weeks! Considering how Alba connects with Lionel Messi and other forwards, Tata Martino might have to rethink his tactics.
