The 2024 edition of MLS is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Nashville SC lock horns with Orlando City in an important clash at the Inter & Co Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have been well below their best this season and will want to win this game.

Nashville SC are in 14th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Austin FC last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Orlando City, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The hosts suffered a 3-0 defeat against Sporting Kansas City in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
