Lionel Messi and Inter Miami will eye progression to the quarterfinal of the CONCACAF Champions Cup when the team hosts Nashville SC at the Chase Stadium on Wednesday.
PREVIEW
An equaliser five minutes into second-half stoppage time helped Inter Miami walk away from Geodis Park with the tie right in the balance.
A Shaffelburg double had put Nashville in the driver’s seat in the tie, before Lionel Messi got one back in the 52nd minute which was followed by the late equaliser from his former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez.
Messi sat out Miami’s 2-3 home defeat to Montreal in the MLS on March 10, while Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba played a part. Miami will hope Messi recovers from the shin injury that kept him out three days ago for this crucial continental fixture.
Nashville too stumbled in its latest encounter, conceding a late goal again, in the draw against the LA Galaxy at Geodis Park.
Predicted 11s
Inter Miami: Callender; Aviles, Kryvtsov, Freire, Alba, Gressel; Redondo, Busquets,Gomez; Messi, Suarez
Nashville: Willis; MacNaughton, Zimmerman, Lovitz, Moore; Davis, Godoy, Muyl, Mouhktar, Shaffelburg; Boyd
