Games of the Matchday

Inter Miami CF vs. FC Cincinnati

These MLS Cup contenders met just before the Leagues Cup break, with Cincy taking a resounding 6-1 win over Miami's shorthanded squad.

Now, Miami have a five-point lead over Cincy in the Supporters' Shield race and can become the first Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs-bound team. That's all while Lionel Messi recovers from an ankle injury, leaving youngsters (i.e. Diego GĆ³mez and Federico Redondo) and veterans (i.e. Luis SuĆ”rez and Jordi Alba) stepping up in the GOAT's absence.

Looking to close the gap, Cincy added striker Niko Gioacchini in the summer transfer window to support Luciano Acosta and Luca Orellano. Gioacchini could debut after being acquired on loan from Italian Serie A side Como 1907.

Nashville SC vs. Austin FC

This cross-conference matchup features two teams looking to make a late-season push into the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs.

Austin are two points behind ninth-place Minnesota United for the final postseason bid in the Western Conference. Can new DP winger Osman Bukari, alongside SebastiƔn Driussi, provide an attacking spark down the stretch?

It's been a difficult season for Nashville, but only two points separate them from Atlanta United for the Eastern Conference's last playoff spot. This will be head coach B.J. Callaghan's MLS coaching debut after the longtime USMNT assistant joined during Leagues Cup.

LA Galaxy vs. Atlanta United

The Galaxy's trophy aspirations could get a boost, with marquee signing Marco Reus potentially debuting. The German international joins an LA attack that can be appointment viewing, highlighted by the electric trio of Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintstil and Gabriel Pec.

LA take on an Atlanta squad that's in flux after the blockbuster summer sales of Thiago Almada and Giorgos Giakoumakis. Alexey Miranchuk has been brought in from Italian Serie A side Atalanta, and could make his club debut.
