A heated marquee matchup is on the horizon as Atlanta United hosts Internacional Miami on their own fiery home turf, not only for a showdown at the pinnacle of the USL, but also because Internacional Miami's coach, Martino, is coming back to his old stomping grounds, where he led the team to the title.
Mez is about to return from the Argentine national team, and while he may be tired, I have no doubt that he will be a key contributor to the team, whether he comes on as a substitute or makes his debut.
In last week's match, Lee Annadu Gambina filled in for Misi and scored twice for Internacional Mayami, helping them to a 3-2 comeback win over Sporting Kansas. He's scored three goals in his last two matches, and I'm looking for him to cause problems for the opposition whenever he plays.
I've been impressed by the new Argentine addition, Farias, who has also scored two goals in his last two games. The 21-year-old can play both as a striker and attacking midfielder, and I have a feeling he will shine in the USL.
Atlanta United's recent form has been up and down, but they have scored the second most goals on the East Coast, which will undoubtedly pose a great challenge to Inter Myaamy's defense.
The team's top scorer, Chiagoumakis, has scored 13 goals and is the team's main threat. However, I think Argentinean international Teiago Almeida is just as indispensable, as he currently leads the league in assists in the USL and is one of the best players in the league at creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
