An interesting clash on the final day of the MLS regular season is set for Tennessee, as Nashville bid to record a favorable result to avoid dropping into the wild-card round.
The hosts require a point to mathematically secure their spot in the top seven.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami have already secured their playoff berth, and a victory could see them finish the regular season as high as second in the Eastern Conference.

A crucial clash on the final day of the Eastern Conference campaign is set for Nashville, as they need at least a draw against Inter Miami to avoid dropping into the wild-card round.
Confidence within the camp should be high after winning the U.S. Open Cup final at the start of the month, but they have won just once in their last five MLS outings.
Last time out, they could only play out a draw on the road against Montreal.
Inter Miami have already secured their spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
However, it is worth noting the strength of their form in the closing weeks of the regular season. Inter have recorded wins in each of their last two matches, scoring a combined total of eight goals.
Lionel Messi has moved to the top of the scoring rankings, netting twice in a recent 4-0 success against Atlanta United.

| Goals | 39 | 20 | 19 |
Nashville's stuttering form would be a major concern ahead of this final-day showdown against the in-form Inter Miami.
The visitors have excelled offensively in recent weeks after netting eight times across their last two. Based on the recent performances of both teams, an away win could make plenty of appeal when making Nashville vs. Inter Miami picks.
