Messi was on the scoresheet against New York City FC last time out, taking his tally to four goals scored for the season already. The 38-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down, after scoring 43 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions last season.
This match for Austin promises to be a daunting one, especially as they have struggled when playing away. They lost 10 of their 17 away matches in the MLS last season, and not much has changed this campaign - both of their losses this season have come when on their travels.
Meanwhile, this will be Inter Miami’s first league game at the Chase Stadium this season, and they will be looking forward to it. Last season, they won 11 of their 17 matches on home turf.
