Nashville FC vs Inter Miami

Nashville SC host Inter Miami in a genuine Eastern Conference summit clash. Nashville currently top the table, while Miami have climbed to second after a strong run, so both sides have real ground to protect heading into this one. Nashville's form has cooled, with just one win in their last three and only four goals scored across their last five games, though their home record remains among the league's best. Inter Miami arrive red-hot, netting eleven goals in their last five outings and boasting the division's top away record. Sam Surridge and Hany Mukhtar carry Nashville's attack, while Messi remains Miami's spearhead, easing back from a post-World Cup break with a substitute cameo before scoring twice in a Leagues Cup rout of Atletico San Luis. History favors the visitors too, who hold the head-to-head edge and remain unbeaten in most recent meetings between these two clubs. Our prediction: 1-2
