Inter Miami form and stats

Inter Miami have collected 14 points from their Major League Soccer home games so far after 4-2-5. Two draws in a row at home now for Inter.

A strong away win for Inter Miami against New York RB the last match, as Gómez and Messi were on target. This was their first victory after eleven consecutive league matches not winning! Allen, defender, was given a rating of 8.13/10 in that game, top of the team. Allen served one assist, hit one key pass and won 5 of 5 duels.

In the fixture before, 3-3 away to Cincinnati (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) (US Open Cup). The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Inter have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

The manager Martino will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Los Angeles FC in only four days.

Inter Miami has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. 15 goals have been conceded.

Nashville SC form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Nashville SC so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Nashville SC, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Nashville SC are travelling again after losing away to Atlanta United in their previous match (0-4). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Atlanta United was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Nashville goalkeeper Willis enjoyed a first-rate shift against Atlanta United, but even with pulling off seven saves the loss could not be helped. Defender Lovitz was the best team player with a rating of 7.44. Lovitz hit four key passes and won 3 of 5 duels.

Ahead of that, 1-1 at home vs Inter Miami (after extra-time, 9-10 on penalties) in the Leagues Cup. We have checked recent matches where Nashville SC have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 12 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Charlotte in just three days.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Nashville in these games.
