Unfortunately for Internazionale Miami, a number of key players were out of action due to injuries at a crucial point in the season, resulting in their failure to qualify for the USL playoffs this season.
Among the players missing from Mayamid, Misi must be the most important one, but I think Zoteba's 1-month absence due to injury has also had a serious impact on the team. It's been a month since Zoteba last started for his team in a league match, and they came back with a win. A few days ago, he came in as a reserve in the league match against Charlotte FC, and his team managed to draw 2-2 in the end.
Against Charlotte FC, Lee Annadao Gambina was the other player to be sidelined due to injury, while Brazilian midfielder Gigoni is also back after a seven-month injury.
With only 1 game left in the USL season, Miami will have their star players available for the 2nd meeting with Charlotte FC in 3 days, and I expect them to be under no pressure to attack their opponents and try to score goals.
FC Charlotte is under pressure and must play at full strength all because they still have a glimmer of hope of making the playoffs.
Vargas had a good performance on the left side against Miami last time, scoring a goal and handing out an assist, so I think he'll be a problem for the visitors at the back.
Szwidarski returned from the Polish national team and was a reserve in the last match, so he should be a regular in this match. Miami has only kept a clean sheet in 1 of their last 9 USL matches, so expect him to be a threat in the box for the visitors.
