FC Dallas and Inter Miami face off this Monday afternoon at the Cotton Bowl in Texas, a stadium that has served as the home of the Dallas Cowboys and is now the home of the city’s soccer team.

The clash between the two MLS sides is the second test of Inter Miami’s pre-season following their goalless draw in El Salvador. As was the case there, it is expected that both Leo Messi and Luis Suárez will get minutes during the match. On the other side, FC Dallas return to action after their elimination from the MLS Playoffs in November last year.

The first stop will be in Saudi Arabia, where they will face Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, followed by a match against a Hong Kong League All-Star team, before heading to Japan to face Vissel Kobe. On his return to Fort Lauderdale, Messi will face boyhood club Newell’s Old Boys.
