Nashville host Mazatlan at the Geodis Park on Wednesday (July 31) in the Leagues Cup. The hosts have endured a poor run of results in Major League Soccer and will hope for better luck in the continent.
They lost 3-0 to Philadelphia Union in their last match, having kicked off their Leagues Cup campaign with a 2-1 win over Colorado Rapids.
Mazatlan, meanwhile, have struggled in the Liga MX and kicked off their Leagues Cup campaign with a 1-0 defeat to New England Revolution. They are rock-bottom in Group East 5 with zero points and must win to retain any hopes of advancing to the knockouts.
They beat fellow Mexican outfit Juarez at this stage of the competition last year and will hope for similar luck.
