Inter Miami vs Nashville: Preview, predictions and lineups

Jordi Alba

Inter Miami will be looking to continue their impressive start to the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign when they host Nashville SC on Sunday.

David Beckham’s franchise team find themselves top of the Eastern Conference after nine games, managing four wins and three draws in the opening two months of the season. Gerardo Martino’s men will be aiming to build on a significant win over Sporting Kansas City on the road last time out, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez both on the scoresheet in a 3-2 triumph.

The table would suggest that Inter Miami should extend their lead at the top of the conference this weekend, with Nashville currently languishing second from bottom, albeit they have played two games fewer than their upcoming opponents.

The two clubs have already met twice this season, both coming in the CONCACAF Champions Cup last 16. Inter Miami won the second leg 3-1 after a 2-2 draw on the road in the first clash.
