Nashville host Toronto at GEODIS Park in the MLS on Saturday, with both sides having similar starts to the season.

Nashville are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, four points off Cincinnati at the top of the table. Gary Smith's side have been in inconsistent form recently, having lost two of their last five fixtures, but will be going into the game off the back of a 2-0 win against Orlando City last time out. They will look to take that momentum into the game against Toronto this weekend.

Toronto are currently 9th in the Eastern Conference, three points behind their opponents. Bob Bradley's side have been in underwhelming form this season, having only won one league game so far. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Nashville on Saturday.
