"Inter Miami have continuously struggled throughout the year with a lack of depth, struggling to find that bench player who can enter the game and make a difference. Silvetti should now be considered that back-pocket tool for Mascherano. He won't necessarily start given the lack of recent training with the team and international absences, but he can absolutely come in and score a goal to drive a victory."
"The 2025 MLS Cup playoffs kicked off on Wednesday with the Wild Card round, which saw the ninth seeds from both the East and West get knocked out, leaving the Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers to move on. Their reward? Dates with two of three best teams of the regular season, the Philadelphia Union and San Diego FC, respectively, in Round 1."
The 2025 MLS Cup playoffs Wild Card round eliminated the ninth seeds in both conferences, advancing the Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers. Chicago and Portland earned Round 1 matchups against top regular-season teams Philadelphia Union and San Diego FC, respectively. Round 1 opens with Inter Miami vs Nashville SC; Lionel Messi is available to play 90 minutes if needed despite a missed training session. Inter Miami struggled with depth all season, but Silvetti provides a potential impact substitute. Miami conceded 55 regular-season goals, the second-most among playoff teams, creating vulnerability Nashville can exploit. Predictions favor Inter Miami advancing thanks to improved roster health and motivated veterans.
