Key Players to Watch: Inter Miami vs Nashville

Inter Miami’s superstar Lionel Messi will be hoping to add to his 14 goals and six assists in 14 starts. The magician has five goal contributions in his last two games and there’s nothing specific to look out for, because he will get the ball and he will hurt the Nashville defence. It will be very difficult for Nashville to keep Miami and Messi out.

Nashville’s midfielder Hany Mukhtar has to be the player to watch here. He scored nine goals and registered four assists from midfield so far. He averages 2.5 key passes per game, so Miami’s centre-backs need to be on red alert whenever the German receives the ball.
