We are less than twenty-four hours away as Inter Miami locks horns against Al Nassr in one of the biggest games of the year. Both sides have tremendous expectations heading into the game. Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami had a disappointing start to their Riyadh Season Cup campaign with the side losing the opening fixture to Al Hilal. However, the side will look to bounce back as they take on Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al Nassr in their second fixture.
Al Nassr, on the other hand, has a lot on its plate heading into the game. The team might miss out on the services of some of their biggest players. But the side has the quality to get a win over their opponents and would love to take Inter Miami to their limits this Thursday.
