As Nashville SC’s season has come to a close, I wanted to look back at some of the numbers and statistics that defined the season. These are all MLS regular season numbers. Playoffs and other competitions have not been included unless stated otherwise. The figures are collected from various outlets: American Soccer Analysis, FBref, Opta Analyst, and MLS Soccer.
On to the numbers…
0.4: Expected Goals v. ORL. The performance at home against Orlando City in Game 2 of the playoffs will leave a sour taste in a lot of mouths this offseason. Nashville barely generated any attack as they fell to the Lions. In a lot of ways, the match was emblematic of the attacking futility that plagued Nashville in the second half of the season.
0.9: Goals Against. Nashville conceded just 32 goals in 34 matches – tied for the best mark in MLS.
