Nashville SC returns to Major League Soccer play just three days after its biggest-ever win.
Nashville (16-11-5, 53 points) looks to bolster its playoff position at CF Montreal (6-17-9, 27 points) on Oct. 4 (1:30 p.m. CT) at Stade Saputo. The Boys in Gold, fresh off a 2-1 win over Austin FC in the U.S. Open Cup final for their first-ever trophy, have just two regular-season games remaining.
The last match between these two teams was a 3-0 win for Nashville at Geodis Park on March 22. Nashville sits in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, having clinched an MLS Cup playoffs berth with its win over the Houston Dynamo on Sept. 27, while Montreal has long been eliminated from postseason contention.
Nashville is fighting for positioning in a crowded East race where the No. 5 through No. 9 seeds are separated by just three points. NSC, Charlotte FC, Orlando City, the Chicago Fire and the Columbus Crew are all guaranteed to be in the playoffs, but are hoping to avoid the wild-card game between the bottom two seeds.
