NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Nashville Soccer Club (5W-3L-4D, 19 pts.) will host Inter Miami CF (5W-6L-0D, 15 pts.) at 7:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday at GEODIS Park, presented by C Spire on a night that will serve to celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

In addition, Nashville SC will launch a special edition commemorative API Patch designed by API Middle TN. All proceeds from the patch, which can be purchased at the NSC Team Store and www.nashvillescmobileshop.com, will benefit the organization.

The Boys in Gold are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference and in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak across all competitions after earning a 1-1 result D.C. United.

The best defense in MLS has allowed the fewest goals in MLS with seven (LAFC has allowed the second fewest goals with eight in two fewer matches played) and ranks second in MLS in clean sheets with six (Seattle Sounders FC lead with seven).

Nashville SC welcomes Inter Miami CF this Wednesday for the first time ever at GEODIS Park, and the first time at home since May 2, 2021. In three all-time matches in Music City, Nashville SC owns a 2W-0L-1D record and has never allowed a goal.

Last week, Nashville SC in conjunction with U.S. Soccer announced that Nashville will also take on Inter Miami CF in the Round of 16 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. CT at DRV PNK Stadium. Additional broadcast information will be announced at a later date.

Reigning Landon Donovan MLS MVP Hany Mukhtar is on MLS history watch. With a goal on Wednesday, the German would be tied with Jamie Moreno as the fourth-fastest player in MLS history to produce 50 career goals and 30 career assists, behind only Carlos Vela (69 games), Sebastian Giovinco (78 games), and Robbie Keane (82 games). Mukhtar is currently at 91 matches played and 49 regular season goals.

Earlier today, Head Coach Gary Smith and midfielder Aníbal Godoy previewed the midweek contest against Inter Miami CF.
