Inter Miami vs Nashville
USA MLS
Date: 31 August 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 00:30 UK / 01:30 CET
Venue: DRV PNK Stadium (Fort Lauderdale).
Just eleven days after their clash in the Leagues Cup final, Inter Miami and Nashville SC will lock horns once again, this time in the Major League Soccer affair.
Inter Miami won the mentioned Leagues Cup tie on penalties, earning the team’s maiden major trophy in history on the occasion.
They will have a nice chance to make it two next month as David Beckham’s team take on Houston Dynamo in the US Open Cup final.
In the meantime, Inter Miami will hope to reach the play-in zone in the Eastern Conference in MLS.
They have moved away from the very foot of the conference standings thanks to a 0-2 victory over New York Red Bulls at the weekend.
Tata Martino’s troops are now only eleven points shy of Chicago Fore in the play-in position with two games in hand as well.
As for Nashville, they dropped to seventh position in the Eastern Conference table after a tough 4-0 defeat at Atlanta United on Saturday night.
It was the fourth straight league defeat for Gary Smith’s troops who seem to be in a huge crisis in the domestic league of late.
Nashville managed to find the back of the net just once in the previous four league matches. They have a poor record on travels with five losses in five straight away outings in the league and only a single goal scored along the way.
Inter Miami look unstoppable with Lionel Messi these days. The Argentinean superstar is scoring for fun on North American soil and we can only expect him to continue his US dominance in the home match against the out-of-form Nashville.
The main pick is Inter Miami to win at the 1.55 odds while we also like the hosts to keep a clean sheet at the 2.50 odds knowing Nashville notched just one goal in the previous five away matches in MLS.
