Nashville will play host to Cincinnati at GEODIS Park in Major League Soccer action on Sunday. The hosts will hope to maintain their momentum as the visitors continue their push to the top.
Nashville vs Cincinnati Preview
Nashville have been able to put an end to a horrible losing streak that stretched to 10 matches in all competitions. For the first time in 12 matches, they tasted victory and will be looking to continue on this path. The hosts defeated Atlanta United (2-0) and Chicago Fire (1-0) in their previous two matches to return to winning ways.
Coyotes sit 12th in the Eastern Conference standings tied on 32 points with Atlanta United. Qualification for the wild-card round of the playoffs is in sight but Nashville need to win most of their remaining matches to stand a chance. The hosts could take confidence from their 2-0 away win over Cincinnati in the sides’ last meeting.
Cincinnati are stretching faith in the possibility of finishing atop the overall standings despite Inter Miami’s eight-point lead at the summit. There are 15 points up for grabs but it’s unlikely Inter Miami will drop enough points to let Cincinnati back into the conversation. Cincinnati are unbeaten in their last three league outings, winning twice and drawing once.
The Orange and Blue won the Eastern Conference and overall titles last season and thus the Supporters' Shield. However, they couldn’t progress beyond the playoffs Conference Finals. The visitors are still in search of their first MLS Cup since joining the league nine years ago. We expect another serious attempt once again.
