After two-week break, Nashville SC are back in action. They'll travel north to take on second-place FC Cincinnati in a match that will have significant implications for both teams on where they finish in the table.
Nashville can clinch a playoff spot tomorrow, with a win against Cincinnati and a loss or draw from the New York Red Bulls on the road against the Portland Timbers. A win would also put them on 53 points through 30 games, just one off their best-ever campaign in 2021.
