Why you should back Inter Miami 

Luis Suárez already has made an impact with his new team. The decorated 37-year-old striker from Uruguay, who signed with the Herons in the offseason, has two goals and three assists so far this year in MLS play. In the 5-0 blowout of Orlando City, Suarez scored twice in the first 11 minutes and added two assists, becoming the first player in club history to record multiple goals and assists in a single match.

Suárez and the rest of the Herons will face a shorthanded Nashville attack on Thursday. Nasvhille coach Gary Smith said Sam Surridge will miss the game with a shoulder injury. In addition, Hany Mukhtar is questionable with a hamstring issue. Without Surridge and Mukhtar this season, Nashville have managed only one goal in two MLS games.

Why you should back Nashville SC

Nashville SC are extremely tough to beat at home. The Boys in Gold have recorded back-to-back shutouts in their first two home games this season and they played Inter Miami to a 1-1 draw in the Leagues Cup Final last August, eventually losing on penalties. Nashville SC held Inter Miami to just two shots on target in that match. 

Gary Smith's side also lost just four of their 17 home games in MLS play last season, proving they have what it takes to compete with Inter Miami. Walker Zimmerman. a two-time MLS Defender of the Year, anchors Nashville's backline, while goalkeeper Joe Willis has made over 200 MLS appearances. Nashville conceded just 32 goals in league play last season, the fewest in the Eastern Conference.
