Player to watch: Sergio Busquets
The man behind the curtains, Sergio Busquets, is the one to watch this week, as we expect to see the very best of him against Atlas. Thursday’s game will require a lot of work at the centre of the pitch, which is where the World Cup champion thrives.
What have we seen from Busquets thus far?
In 20 domestic league matches, the 37-year-old midfielder has supplied teammates with five assists, earning himself three yellow cards in the process. Despite his age, he seems like a proper candidate to prove our top Inter Miami vs Atlas prediction correct.
