In addition to having one of the best offenses in the tournament, the Tennessee team has a very good balance, having conceded only 23 goals, it is one of the best defenses and has a +16 goal differential.

As for the home team's offense, they have had a very good goal percentage with 39 goals in 24 games, which places them third in the Eastern Conference in that category.

These are the players who will start for the team led by Gary Smith:

1J. WILLIS; 4D. ROMNEY, 25W. ZIMMERMAN, 12A. JOHNSTON, 5J. MAHER, 20A. GODOY, 10H. MUKHTAR, 6D. MCCARTY, 2D. LOVITZ, 17C. SAPONG and 8R. LEAL.

These are the players of the home team that will start the match with a 3-4-2-1 formation:
32N. MARSMAN; 3K. GIBBS, 4C. MAKOUN, 31K. LEERDAM, 14J. CHAPMAN, 8B. MATUIDI, 26GREGORE, 7L. MORGAN, 21J. CARRANZA, 10R. PIZARRO and 9G. HIGUAIN.

A team that has very good players has not had a good MLS 2021 tournament, so it will be essential that they close the tournament in a good way. 

In terms of numbers, they are in 9th place in the general table, only two places and three points away from qualification. 

 

A match between two teams eager to score points is about to start.

These were the players who went out in the previous day's unfortunate loss: 

1J. WILLIS; 4D. ROMNEY, 25W. ZIMMERMAN, 12A. JOHNSTON, 23T. WASHINGTON, 20A. GODOY, 10H. MUKHTAR, 27B. ANUNGA, 2D. LOVITZ, 17C. SAPONG and 14D. RIOS.

Sadly defeated by a landslide, the inter players went out with this lineup for the previous match: 

32N. MARSMAN; 4C. MAKOUN, 5J. FIGAL, 6L. GONZÁLEZ PÍREZ, 20B. SHEA, 8B. MATUIDI, 26GREGORE, 7L. MORGAN, 19R. ROBINSON, 10R. PIZARRO and 9G. HIGUAIN.

The visiting team has two great strikers in its ranks, Mukhtar and Sapong, but today we will focus on the latter. 

Since the North American has just equaled his teammate with a total of 10 goals in the current championship, he will be decisive to achieve tonight's victory. 

A great partner up front for Higuaín has been none other than Mexican Rodolfo Pizarro, who has won out over other players on the right wing. 

Today he will have a great challenge ahead of him, which will be to beat one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, so he will have to show his great ability to beat them. 

With second place and 41 points, Nashville is looking for a seemingly impossible feat: to catch New England, who leads the overall standings. 

That is why they will have to shake off the 2-1 loss to Toronto in order to continue closing the lead. 

Despite the painful defeat in the previous match by a score of 4-0, Inter has experienced a winning streak in previous matches that they should not lose sight of.

That is why, although the defeat was very scandalous, they will have to pick themselves up immediately to continue with the momentum they had been managing until before the match against New York, where they also suffered the expulsion of Jorge Figal.

The Inter vs Nashville match will be played at the stadium DRV PNK, in Florida, USA with a capacity of 18,000 people. 

It is the temporary home of Major League Soccer's Inter Miami until the completion of Miami Freedom Park located in the city of Miami, and will be the permanent home of the club's Fort Lauderdale CF affiliate and academy. 

The stadium has a south-north orientation for the soccer setup, so the sun does not bother the goalkeepers' eyes.
