Inter Miami Form/Stats

Player to Watch

Given his recent goalscoring record, it’s hard not to suggest Lionel Messi will be the player to watch in this game at Cincinnati.

This will be Messi’s first ever MLS game against Cincinnati and it will be interesting to see how they cope with the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star, who will be determined to maintain his streak of scoring multiple goals.

With Cincinnati conceding four goals against Columbus, Messi might well be licking his lips at the opportunity to get after this fragile defence on Thursday.
