Here are five key points ahead of the pivotal second leg in the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 between Nashville SC and Inter Miami CF, with the outcome determined by aggregate goals:

  1. The main tiebreaker in Concacaf Champions Cup home-and-away matchups is away goals. With the aggregate score still at zero after the first leg, Nashville SC will move on to the Quarterfinals for the first time with a win or any draw except 0-0 on Wednesday night.
  2. If Nashville and Miami end regulation in another 0-0 tie, the match will proceed to 30 minutes of extra time. Should the deadlock persist, a penalty shootout will determine the winner.
  3. Nashville SC comes into Wednesday’s game enjoying its strongest start ever in club history across all competitions (5 wins, 0 losses, 2 draws) and in MLS play (3 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw), outscoring opponents by a margin of 15 to 2.
  4. Goalkeeper Brian Schwake is undefeated in his first 12 starts for Nashville SC (10 wins, 0 losses, 2 draws), including five clean sheets in seven matches this season.
  5. Wednesday’s game marks the fourth of five matches Nashville SC will play in just 15 days. The Boys in Gold wrap up their busy March schedule on Saturday at GEODIS Park against Orlando City SC for Sam Surridge Bobblehead Night, presented by Renasant. After the March FIFA International match window, Nashville SC will return to action at Chicago Fire FC on Saturday, April 4.

Nashville SC became part of Major League Soccer on February 29, 2020, debuting before the largest crowd ever for a soccer match in Tennessee. The club earned its first trophy and brought home Tennessee’s first major professional sports championship by winning the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. In their inaugural MLS season, Nashville SC surprised many by becoming only the second expansion team to win and progress to the Conference Semifinals in the 2020 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. The club made the playoffs again in its second year, joining a select group as the seventh MLS team ever to finish a season unbeaten at home. Nashville SC qualified for the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in 2022, 2023, and 2025, making them just the third team in league history to reach the postseason in their first four years, and one of only nine to do so in five of their first six seasons. GEODIS Park, which is the largest soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. and Canada, opened to a sellout crowd of 30,109 on May 1, 2022.
