"Lionel Messi and Co. are back in the Big Apple for a late-season MLS matchup against New York City FC at Citi Field on Wednesday night (7:30 p.m. ET). The Boys in Blue are hot off a three-win bounce the first of Pascal Jansen's short tenure as NYCFC head coach and have won five times against David Beckham's team in their head-to-head."
"Jansen has pushed his side to fourth spot in the Eastern Conference, and CEO Brad Sims said last week the club really got it right with Jansen's signing. Having already clinched a playoff spot, the side could also rise to third in the standings if Charlotte drops points this weekend. Alonso Martinez has hit a purple patch of form at the right time for the Boys in Blue as well, with three goals in his last three matches"

Alonso Martinez has scored three goals in his last three matches, including two penalties that decided the recent 2-0 win over Charlotte. Inter Miami visit Citi Field with Lionel Messi available. Past matchups between the teams have frequently ended in draws, and Miami holds two matches in hand due to Club World Cup duties.
