After missing the last two inter -maiami games for the management of charges, Lionel Messi could return for a match against the Charlotte FC at home on Sunday. The Herons were able to watch Cavalier SC in the game of the Champions Cup and will now have another test with Wilfried Zaha coming in town. Charlotte’s new winger scored and helped during her beginnings, but Miami has met all the challenges on their way and emerged with victories to launch the season.
Here are our scenarios, how you can watch the match and more:

Scenarios
Inter Miami: Everyone got involved for Miami at the start of this season. Tadeo Allende and Telasco Segovia seemed to have always been members of the team, Luis Suarez is just as comfortable as he helps while other players fulfill their roles around them. Tomas Aviles will be back from his suspension, but the defense being strong without the young Argentinian center, he remains to be seen if Javier Mascherano will put him back immediately after his red card.
Inter Miami predicted XI: Oscar Ustari, Jordi Alba, Tomas Aviles, Maximiliano Faly, Ian Fray, Federico Redondo, Sergio Busquets, Fablaco Segovia, Tadeo Allende, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez
Charlotte FC: With the addition of Zaha, Charlotte now has a balanced attack with Liel Abada having control of the left wing. Patrick AGYEMANG is already able to create space for itself and the others in the attack by dribbling or by holding the ball, so if Charlotte can stop Messi, they will be able to score goals. Of course, no team was able to do it this season, but there is the first time for everything. Under Dean Smith, Charlotte was able to have good defensive plans for attacks, but Miami is at another level at the moment.
Charlotte FC predicted XI: Kristijan Kahlina, Adilson Mlanda, Andrew Privett, Tim Ram
Prediction
With Messi back in the fold, he will resume where he stopped, being involved in goals in the first three games of the Miami season. If he begins, Miami will have no problem winning a victory in this match, but if he is missing, Charlotte could emerge with a victory. Take: Inter Miami 2, Charlotte 1
