Both teams are pushing to confirm their qualification for the playoffs, with six rounds of games to spare. Nashville are seventh-placed with 45 points in the Eastern Conference but could be ejected as four other teams are hot on their heels in the standings. The hosts need to grab most of the remaining points to sail through.

The Boys in Gold defeated Orlando 2-0 away in their previous clash but are expecting the visitors to pay them in their own coin at GEODIS Park. Nashville are winless in their last three home matches, drawing twice and losing once but look determined to conclude their campaign on a high note. “Every game henceforth is a final,” says coach Gary Smith.

Orlando sit high in the Eastern Conference standings. They are second-placed with 54 points but are yet to seal their qualification for the playoffs round one.

The Lions are in search of their first victory at GEODIS Park after four attempts. Their last visit to the venue ended in a 3-1 loss. Orlando’s three-game undefeated away streak ended when they lost 2-0 to New York City FC in their last trip. The 2022 US Open Cup winners will be looking to avoid a second straight defeat.
