Nashville will take on Orlando City in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday (February 7).
Nashville played two friendlies last month. After kicking off their pre-season with a 1-0 defeat against the New York Red Bulls, they played out a goalless draw against Louisville City last week.
Orlando, meanwhile, have also played two friendlies in the pre-season, winning both, scoring five goals and conceding just once. They overcame Minnesota United 2-0 on Thursday before beating Florida International University (FIU) soccer team 3-1 on Saturday.
Nashville will look to open their goalscoring account in the pre-season, while Orlando will strive to continue their winning run.
