These two have to win here. They are both outside the playoff zone and are desperate to win some points; otherwise, this can turn out to be a very bad season for each side involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nashville’s form before the Leagues Cup was terrible, and it continued in this competition as well. They had six losses in the MLS in a row, and that negative skid continued in the LC, where this unit suffered defeats to Mazatlan, 0-2, and New England Revolution, 2-1 on penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In each of the losses apart from the latest vs. Revs, Nashville allowed at least two goals, while in three of the past four, we’ve seen them failing to score. What happened with this team, we don’t quite know, but the pause came at the best possible moment for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
