Nashville SC vs Inter Miami: Form Analysis
Leaders Inter Miami will look to continue their hold on the top spot when they face a Nashville side that is beginning to find some form in the MLS. This Eastern Conference match at Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday will see Miami start at the at the top of the standings with 41 points from 20 matches, while Nashville is seventh with 26 points from 19 matches.

They are unbeaten in three, including winning the last two league games. Those wins have come against Toronto and New York City, who are hovering around them in the league table, and the challenge now is to step up against the leaders.
Inter Miami has a two-point advantage over second-placed Cincinnati ahead of this weekend, although they played a game extra. They are also in fine form and have won nine of their last 12 league matches, losing only once. They remain one of the best-scoring sides in the division, with 46 goals to their name. They have struggled defensively, though, conceding goals in their last five league matches.
That opens the door for at least a goal for the home team. In fact, Inter Miami conceded in eight of their last nine away league games. While that may continue here, they have also scored goals in seven of those matches, raising hopes of a scoring game. With five wins and a draw from their last six matches, results have also been in their favor, something that Inter Miami will hope to find here.
