The two North American giants will battle out each other in the CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 second-leg tie on Thursday, March 15. In the first leg, we saw both sides play out a 2-2 draw at Geodis Park.

Inter Miami manager Tata Martino was sweating over the fitness of starter Lionel Messi who missed the game against CF Montreal over the weekend. The Herons were unbeaten this season before succumbing to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Montreal. They secured a dramatic equaliser in the first-leg and are expectedly favourites to win the return leg.

Nashville, on the other hand, have had a disappointing start to the season but they have performed well in cup competitions so far. Jacob Shaffelburg who scored three goals already this season has proven to be the difference-maker in cup competitions.
