On Thursday at 8:00 p.m. CT, Nashville SC returns to GEODIS Park for a much-anticipated Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 matchup against Inter Miami CF.

Important Tales

1. Leagues Cup Final rematch: The GEODIS Park Leagues Cup Final served as the championship game for the recently redesigned Leagues Cup. Despite a heroic effort by the Boys in Gold to limit Inter Miami to six shots and one goal during regulation time, Nashville SC ultimately lost in a penalty kick shootout in front of the Castle’s supporters section. Last season, Nashville SC and Inter Miami played each other four times in all competitions.

2. Investigating Miami Major League Soccer has taken notice as a result of Inter Miami’s player acquisitions in the past year. Apart from its well-known superstars, the team has included a few other players to support their strategy. Gerardo “Tata” Martino, who coached Leo Messi at Barcelona and the Argentina National Team, is in charge of them.

Orlando City SC was defeated 5-0 by Inter Miami last Saturday.

3. Away goals and the return leg: Nashville SC will go to Fort Lauderdale for the return leg, regardless of Thursday’s outcome. Remember that there is an away goals rule in place, which means that if the score is tied, the team with the most goals scored at their opponent’s stadium advances. This emphasises how important it is to score goals in the home stadium of the opposition.

Players To Keep An Eye On
In the season’s opening game on Saturday against the Colorado Rapids, Captain Walker Zimmerman started. Before the high-profile matchup at the Castle on Thursday, the USMNT defender, who was replaced by Dan Lovitz in the 60th minute, is gradually regaining his health. Zimmerman is a reliable member of Nashville’s backline and a threat on set pieces.

Throughout the league, Julian Gressel has resided in Atlanta, Vancouver, and Columbus. Gressel, who is currently in his rookie season with Inter Miami, has been a valuable offensive danger to his teammates. Gressel has mostly played in the midfield, although Tata Martino may move him to a right-back or right wingback position given Deandre Yedlin’s recent move to FC Cincinnati.
