After a goal-fest against Orlando City, Inter Miami challenged Nashville SC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The Nashville SC vs Inter Miami match is scheduled to take place at Geodis Park, Nashville, on Friday (08/03/2024) kicking off at 7:30 am IST.
Ahead of this match, The Herons are on fire following positive results in the first three matches of Major League Soccer (MLS) 2024.
So far, Lionel Messi’s cs control the top of the MLS Eastern region standings.
Gerardo Martino’s men collected 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw.
Inter Miami’s confidence is growing as the “deadly duo” of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have started to pose a threat.
In MLS 2024, La Pulga is the temporary top scorer thanks to 3 goals, while El Pistolero scored 2 goals.
Not only that, Luis Suarez – who had drawn a lot of criticism throughout the pre-season – became the flavor of assists thanks to 3 assists.
The Herons also still have Robert Taylor who has 2 goals in Major League Soccer this season.
The Lionel Messi-captained side’s defense has improved, conceding just once in the last three matches.
In the opposite direction, Nashville SC’s play has not been stable with a record of 3 draws and 2 wins in the last 5 matches.
Gary Smith’s team had a 4-0 victory against Moca in the Concacaf Champions Cup then only won a 1-1 draw against Colorado Rapids in MLS 2024.
Even so, Nashville SC still has the potential to beat Inter Miami.
In terms of head-to-head, Nashville SC vs Inter Miami is even in the last 5 matches, both opening 2 wins.
In the last meeting on 31 August 2023, Teal Bunbury CS was able to hold Lionel Messi et al to a draw.
Confirmed Lineups:
Inter Miami XI: Callender, Gressel, Avilés, Kryvtsov, Freire, Allen, Redondo, Busquets, Gómez, Messi, Suárez.
Nashville SC XI: Willis; Lovitz, MacNaughton, Mukhtar, Boyd, Shaffelburg, Moore, Muyl, Godoy, Walker, Davis
