With Lionel Messi on the sidelines, Christian Benteke will take center stage for DC United against Messi's Inter Miami. Goals could come fast and furious today, and Benteke will factor in on the offensive output.DC United hopes to remain unbeaten in their MLS campaign when they take on Inter Miami at Audi Field on Saturday afternoon. OurDC United have lost only one of their seven all-time meetings with the Herons and will be confident in continuing that strong run.
In their season opener with the New England Revolution, he took advantage of the Revs having just 10 men for a large portion of the match as he secured a hat trick. He attempted six shots on the day, and it was his final shot in the 93rd minute that got him the milestone. That’s how Montreal was able to travel to Fort Lauderdale last weekend and secure a 3-2 victory with Messi out of the lineup. Their first two goals came off set pieces, and Miami were fortunate not to concede two others from corners.
All signs point towards Benteke being involved from the opening whistle. He’s not listed at all on the DC United player availability report on the MLS website, which means he has no limitations. And head coach Troy Lesense made it clear he wants his big man out there. “When we have , we want to use him,” he said on Thursday.
Without Messi, I expect Jordi Alba to also be more involved in the attack. He was bombing forward last weekend while Messi and Suarez were rested, scoring a goal on his only shot of the match. He’s attempted a shot in all four of his starts so far in the league, and I anticipate more of the same here. Depending on when you placed your bets, you could have +200 or better on the 3-way money line on all possible results.
