Both Inter Miami and Nashville SC will be looking to bounce back from defeats in their latest outings as they clash at the DRV PNK Stadium on Wednesday.
Phil Neville's Inter Miami had a six-game unbeaten streak snapped last weekend as they fell to a 4-0 defeat against New York City Red Bulls. After starting the season off on a poor note and winning just two of their first twelve, Neville has overseen an upturn in form for his side.
Inter Miami had won three matches on the trot in the build-up to the game against the Red Bulls. They could have moved into a playoff spot with a win against them but all hope went out the window as they were reduced to 10 men in the 38th minute.
Jorge Figal was shown a second yellow after Inter Miami had already gone 2-0 down and there was no coming back for them from that point. Three points separate them from Philadelphia Union, who occupy the last playoff spot of the Eastern Conference with 35 points in 24 matches.
Inter Miami will be going up against Nashville, one of the best sides in the MLS this season. Gary Smith has truly transformed his side and they're well on course for their best finish in a regular MLS season. Nashville SC have the best defensive record in the Eastern Conference, having conceded just 23 goals in 24 matches.
However, their latest outing ended in defeat as they fell 2-1 to Toronto FC. But Nashville can go one step closer to confirming a berth in the playoffs with a win against Inter Miami on Wednesday.
