The MLS returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Nashville SC lock horns with an impressive Los Angeles FC side in an important encounter at the BMO Stadium on Saturday.
Los Angeles FC vs Nashville SC Preview
Nashville SC are currently in eighth place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings and have been inconsistent over the past year. The away side edged Charlotte FC to a narrow 2-1 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the Western Conference league table and have failed to meet expectations this season. The hosts slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Minnesota United in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
