Is Lionel Messi Playing Tonight? Where to Watch Inter Miami vs Nashville Live?

The most interesting part of the MLS season starts from this week, with Inter Miami taking on Nashville SC in round one of the Best of Three playoff series on Saturday, October 25, at Chase Park. The hosts will be eyeing the MLS Cup after securing the Supporters’ Shield last season, but the journey to the promised land starts with overcoming the US Open Cup winners. Recently, former Barcelona talismanic forward Lionel Messi signed a new contract with the MLS outfit, Inter Miami, and this will be his first match after the contract extension, which runs until 2028.

Confidence is high in the Inter Miami camp after finishing the regular MLS season strongly in third position, giving them home advantage for the Best of Three series. The players have high expectations of themselves, demanding nothing less than lifting the MLS Cup come December 6. Inter Miami are on a three-game winning run in MLS and coincidentally dispatched Nashville 5-2 in the final game of the regular season last weekend.

The hosts’ record against the Coyotes does not leave much room for imagination, because Inter were triumphant in their last five consecutive head-to-heads, part of a nine-game unbeaten run against these opponents. Javier Mascherano-led Inter Miami side are in a decent run of form, losing just once across their previous eight outings, winning six in that sequence of games.

On the other hand, it has been a relatively successful season for Nashville SC, under the guidance of BJ Callaghan, finishing sixth this term as opposed to 13th last season. Nashville have already secured one piece of silverware this year, but adding to their trophy cabinet will be a top priority for the coach and players. Callaghan’s tactics and quiet refresh of the squad were largely responsible for the lift in performances, but it is worth noting that the value of the travelling team is almost half that of the hosts.
