Nashville SC Aims for Fourth Straight Win Against D.C. United

NASHVILLE, Tennessee — Nashville SC will look to extend their winning streak to four matches when they host D.C. United at Geodis Park on Saturday. The match is set to kick off at 1:30 a.m. UK time.

After a narrow 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday, Nashville has climbed to fourth place in the Eastern Conference, sitting comfortably 10 points ahead of D.C. United, who currently holds the 12th spot.

Nashville’s recent form has been solid, as they have won three matches in a row in all competitions and have not lost in their last five competitive fixtures. The team has proven resilient, having come back from a losing position to earn 10 points this season.

The Boys in Gold have a strong home record, having won six matches at Geodis Park this season, more than any other MLS team. They only have one defeat at home, which was a 2-1 loss to FC Cincinnati. This weekend, they aim to match their longest winning stretch of the year.

Conversely, D.C. United has struggled in the offensive department, failing to score in their last two league matches and five times this season. However, their defense did not concede any goals against New York City FC, allowing them to settle for a 0-0 draw.

On the injury front, Nashville is dealing with several key absences. Players such as Hany Mukhtar had to push through injuries during their last match, but they managed to secure a hard-fought win. Meanwhile, D.C. United is also missing important contributors due to various injuries.

Historically, D.C. United has been successful against Nashville, winning two of their last three encounters. Their last trip to Geodis Park ended in a thrilling 4-3 win for D.C., where they scored three goals in the final 15 minutes to complete a comeback.

This match presents an important opportunity for both teams. While Nashville aims to keep their winning momentum alive, D.C. United seeks to end their recent scoring woes. With both sides having different pressures heading into the match, it promises to be an exciting game for fans.
