Inter Miami predicted lineup vs Nashville SC - MLS | OneFootball

Inter Miami return to action with a trip to GEODIS Park as they take on Nashville SC in MLS play.

The south Florida side remain in first place in the Supporters' Shield standings after turning things around following their 3-1 home defeat to Atlanta United. Even without the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Matias Rojas, Miami have still found a way with two league victories over Philadelphia Union and current league champions Columbus Crew.

Miami boss Gerardo 'Tata' Martino has a number of players unavailable due to injury and the ongoing Copa America, meaning he'll probably stick to his guns and go with the XI that got him three points last week vs the Crew.

Here's how the Herons could lineup vs Nashville.

GK: Drake Callender - The USMNT reserve goalkeeper will look to keep his fifth clean sheet of the 2024 season.

RB: Marcelo Weigandt - The attacking full-back makes a return to the XI after missing out against Columbus due to a hamstring injury.

CB: Tomas Aviles - Martino will be delighted that Aviles is available for selection once again after serving a one-match suspension for his red card vs Philadelphia.

CB: Serhiy Kryvtsov - The veteran center-back anchors the backline alongside the young Aviles against a Nashville attack that's capable of scoring multiple goals on their day.

LB: Jordi Alba - The ex-Barcelona full-back keeps his place in Martino's lineup, looking to add to his five assists registered in MLS action this season.

CM: Julian Gressel - Despite impressing out on the wing in recent games, Martino could look to utilize Gressel in the midfield with his exceptional passing range to play through-balls to the likes of Robert Taylor and Benjamin Cremaschi.

CM: Sergio Busquets - Busquets keeps things in check in the middle of the park while Gressel and Ruiz roam freely in the final third.

CM: David Ruiz - Like Aviles, Ruiz also missed out vs Columbus after he was sent off vs the Union. But Ruiz should be back in the side this weekend, replacing Yannick Bright alongside Busquets.

RW: Benjamin Cremaschi - The versatile youngster features out on the wing for the second-straight match.

ST: Leo Campana - With Luis Suarez off at Copa America, Campana leads the line.

LW: Robert Taylor - The Finland international will be eager to be back amongst the goals having last scored in late May.
