This game should be exciting because both teams have good attackers. Who will win?

Nashville SC: Form and Statistics

Nashville SC MLS form: WLLLWD

Nashville SC is coming into this game after a 1-1 draw with CF Montréal on October 4. Their inconsistent run continues. They have won one game, drawn one, and lost three of their last five. They have scored an average of 1.4 goals and given up 1.6 goals per game. Even though they've had a rough patch, their season is still going well: they have 16 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses, with 1.7 goals scored and 1.2 goals given up per game. They haven't been playing well lately, with only two wins in their last nine MLS games. But a strong start to the season helped them make the playoffs, and they won their first US Open Cup, which made this year one to remember. Nashville is currently sixth in the Eastern Conference, and there are only three points between them and the teams below them. They are ahead of Columbus Crew in ninth place because they have more wins, but Orlando City and Chicago Fire could pass them, leaving them to fight for a Wildcard spot. In his first full season as head coach, B.J. Callaghan has shown how valuable he is by leading the team to the US Open Cup and pushing for an MLS Cup berth. Nashville, on the other hand, has had trouble against Miami, losing their last four games against them. The hosts have lost one of their last four games, but they haven't lost any of their last three games in any competition.

Nashville SC News and Lineup

Nashville has several injuries to deal with, including Julian Gaines (thigh), Wyatt Meyer (foot), Jonny Perez (thigh), and long-term injury to Taylor Washington (knee). Ahmed Qasem has missed the last three games and is still doubtful for this match, though he may make the bench. The good news for head coach Callaghan is that Matthew Corcoran will return after being eliminated with the USA Under-19 squad in the World Cup quarter-finals. Sam Surridge is the main threat for Nashville. He won the Golden Boot in the US Open Cup and is third in the MLS Golden Boot race with 23 goals.

Inter Miami: Form and Statistics

Inter Miami MLS form: WWDLWW

Javier Mascherano's team might not have won the Supporters' Shield, but they can still finish the season strong and get second place. The Herons need help from other teams, but first they need to beat the team that is in their way. Miami has lost 25% of their games on the road this season, so beating Nashville isn't a sure thing. To catch up with the leaders, the Philadelphia Union, they need to win. Javier Mascherano, who won the UEFA Champions League twice with FC Barcelona, is in charge of the Florida team. He took over as coach after he stopped playing.
