Nashville SC Hosts Inter Miami in Crucial MLS Decision Day Match
Nashville, TN — Nashville SC returns to GEODIS Park on Saturday, Oct. 18, to face Inter Miami CF in the final match of the MLS regular season. Kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m. CT. With their playoff position secured, Nashville aims to improve its seed in the upcoming MLS Cup Playoffs.
Seated in sixth place with 54 points, Nashville could move as high as fourth or drop to eighth after Saturday, depending on results from around the league. A win against Miami, coupled with losses from Charlotte and New York City, would grant them home-field advantage for two of their potential playoff games.
Both Nashville and Miami are no strangers, having faced off 15 times previously. Miami leads the all-time series with six wins over Nashville’s four, while the teams have drawn five times. Their last meeting ended with a 2-1 victory for Miami in July.
Star players will be on display, including Nashville’s Sam Surridge and Miami’s Lionel Messi. Surridge, with 23 goals this season, seeks to keep pace with Messi, who leads the league with 26 goals and could potentially win both the Golden Boot and MVP award.
Inter Miami enters this match on a two-game winning streak, recently defeating Atlanta United 4-0. This victory secured them a home playoff game in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs.
