"Miami, who have already clinched a playoff berth, can seal second spot in the Eastern Conference with a victory, provided FC Cincinnati fail to win. The Herons have won five of their last seven outings, having run out 4-0 winners last time out with an emphatic display against Atlanta United. Javier Mascherano's side will be eager to build momentum heading into the postseason as they look to give the retiring Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba the perfect send-off."
"Nashville, though, must win to guarantee themselves a spot in the first round of the playoffs. A defeat could see them slip into the wildcard positions if results elsewhere go against them. This season's US Open champions are unbeaten in their last three in all competitions, but have won just three of their previous 10 MLS outings, losing six and drawing one."
"I think it's a pretty good time, after we've just won the first [major league] trophy in Tennessee history. I want to first and foremost thank God. That he listened to the prayers of a kid from Somers, New York who just really wanted to kick a ball around, play with his friends, and grow. Those prayers turned into something far greater than I could ever imagine."
Taylor Washington will retire at the end of the season after a 10-year career with Nashville SC. Nashville must beat Inter Miami in their final regular-season game to guarantee a first-round playoff spot; a loss could drop them into wildcard positions depending on other results. Inter Miami have already clinched a playoff berth and can secure second place in the Eastern Conference with a win if FC Cincinnati do not win. Miami have won five of their last seven matches, including a 4-0 win over Atlanta United, and seek momentum while Nashville aim for a deep playoff run following the US Open Cup triumph.
