Nashville vs Inter Miami Preview & Picks


Nashville showed no mercy against Monterrey in the Leagues Cup semi-final as they took their chances and moved into the final with a 2-0 win. 

Inter Miami hammered Philadelphia Union 4-1 in their last game to stretch their winning run to six matches. 

  • Nashville have lost once at the competition (W5) (Leagues Cup)
  • Nashville have kept clean sheets in their last two matches (Leagues Cup)
  • Inter Miami are yet to lose at the tournament (W6) (Leagues Cup)
  • Inter have scored three or more goals in five of their six games (Leagues Cup)

Head-To-Head


Miami beat Nashville 2-1 when the pair met back in May, with this ending a run of two wins in a row for Nashville. In their last eight, Inter have won twice, Nashville have won four times and there have been two draws. 

Nashville Form

 
Nashville have looked very strong at the Leagues Cup, with the squad tested in a number of different ways throughout the competition. 

A 2-1 win in their first game was followed by a 4-3 loss to Toluca in their second outing. Nashville were forced to bounce back straight away, which they did as they downed FC Cincinnati on penalties. Penalties were required once again as they beat Club America before they hammered Minnesota United 5-0 and Monterrey 2-0. 

The one thing Nashville are yet to face is Lionel Messi. The Argentinian has been at his best, scoring goals, creating chances and wowing fans, and Nashville will have to find a way to stop him if they are to win this game. 

Inter Miami Form 


Inter Miami are yet to lose at the Leagues Cup, with five wins in 90 minutes along with a win on penalties showing they have been so tough to stop. 

Wins over Cruz Azul, Atlanta United and Orlando City was quickly followed by a battling win on penalties over FC Dallas. Inter then hammered Charlotte 4-0 before downing Philadelphia 4-1. Miami have been the team to beat so far, and they are fully deserving of their place in the final. 

It is incredibly tough to look away from the magician that is Messi in the final, with the World Cup winner likely to have a big say on who wins the Leagues Cup this year. 

Verdict

I am backing Inter Miami to win this one as Lionel Messi does it again with a telling contribution in the game.
