Nashville SC Hosts New York City FC in Major League Soccer Matchup

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Nashville SC will look to extend their unbeaten streak when they face New York City FC at Geodis Park on Saturday night at 9:30 PM UK time. Both teams are coming off mixed results, with Nashville recently drawing 2-2 against Columbus Crew and NYCFC suffering a 3-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo earlier this week.

The Boys in Gold, currently third in the Eastern Conference, are eager to capitalize on their home advantage. With an impressive home record against NYCFC, having won both previous meetings at Geodis Park without conceding a goal, Nashville hopes to hand New York City their second home defeat of the season.
