Nashville SC host Inter Miami at Geodis Park on Saturday, August 15 (8:30 PM ET \/ 7:30 PM CT \/ 5:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n
There are no fresh worries for either side heading into this one, with clean bills of health up and down both team sheets. Nashville will lean on the finishing of Samuel Surridge, who has scored 11 goals already this season, with Hany Mukhtar pulling the strings behind him after creating 22 chances of his own; Warren Madrigal and Cristian Espinoza offer further support with 5 and 3 goals respectively. For Inter Miami, the headline act remains Lionel Messi, who has 12 goals and 42 chances created to his name this season, with Luis Su\u00e1rez and Germ\u00e1n Berterame chipping in 10 and 7 goals of their own alongside Rodrigo De Paul’s 32 chances created from midfield.<\/p>\n
Both sides arrive full of confidence, but this should be a tight, competitive watch rather than an avalanche of chances. Nashville have been steady in front of their own fans this season, while Inter Miami have found goals wherever they’ve gone lately, including a 2-2 draw at Columbus Crew and a 3-2 win over Chicago Fire. Expect the kind of game where a single early goal changes the tenor completely, but Nashville’s platform at home, allied to Surridge and Mukhtar’s end product, should be enough to nose it 2-1.<\/p>\n\n\n
