Inter Miami vs Nashville SC team news
Jordi Alba, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets have taken Inter Miami to another level and are all expected to start on Wednesday with the latter pair having been rested in New York.
Drake Callender, Josef Martinez Robert Taylor have proved crucial while new arrivals Diego Gomez and Facundo Farias give Messi extra weapons to find as quarterback.
Visitors Nashville are one of the more dangerous sides in the league, led by German Hany Mukhtar who has registered 13 goals and seven assists in 25 matches.
The quick turnaround between games could see them hand starts to Randall Leal, Dax McCarty and Teal Bunbury while Sam Surridge could drop to the bench.
Inter Miami vs Nashville SC betting preview
There's no doubt that this is a very tough game on paper, but actually, Nashville are not the same on their travels and lost 4-0 away to Atlanta at the weekend.
In fact, the visitors have now lost their last five matches on the road, registering a solitary goal in a 3-1 defeat away to FC Cincinnati.
Messi has catapulted Inter to another level, as highlighted by his ridiculously precise one-two goal with youngster Benjamin Cremaschi at the weekend.
Their record in the Leagues Cup saw them beat Cruz Azul (2-1), Atlanta United (4-0), Orlando City (3-1) and Charlotte (4-0) on home soil, but the 4-1 win in Philadelphia stood out the most.
This team has shown that they've just a cut above the other teams in MLS and looking at the form of the two sides, there's no reason we shouldn't see a similar result.
The hosts are going to dominate possession and their Galactico trio aside, this is a team that has far too many weapons to keep quiet, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they thump leaky Nashville.
