Washington, D.C., United States – Major League Soccer don hot as Inter Miami wade through D.C. United this weekend. As we speak, the Herons dey feeling like dem get life again after dem just win Tigres for Leagues Cup quarterfinals last Wednesday.
But Abeg, no too rejoice for Miami side, because dem no go get their talisman, Lionel Messi, for this one. E dey nursing injury like say na small pikin wey fall for road. D.C.

Inter Miami don enter this match with plenty swag, but dem sure say di absence of Messi fit turn di game upside down. Na Luis Suárez and other key players like Sergio Busquets dey ready to show their skills, as dem fit carry plenty goals come back home. Jordi Alba sef no go fit play after him injury during di game against Tigres.
For D.C. United, their hope dey rest on Christian Benteke. I mean, if dis guy fit conjure small magic, dem fit surprisingly upset Miami. E don dey struggle since we start dis season, where he carry only eight goals, compared to di Golden Boot wey he grab last year. Wetin happen?

As Miami dey set to face D.C. on Saturday night, dem fit line up like this: Ustari; Weigandt, Luján, Falcón, Cremaschi; Busquets, Bright; Allende, De Paul, Segovia; Suárez. Meanwhile, D.C. go likely use dis lineup: Barraza; Schnegg, Rowles, MacNaughton, Antley; Hopkins, Servania, Peltola, Herrera; Pirani, Benteke. Something tell me say dem no go get it easy o!
With Inter Miami sitting at third place and looking to drag their way to di top of the table, D.C. United just dey hope for miracle as dem don suffer one kind recession for league.
