Nashville SC will go against DC United on Saturday with its five plain competition win, including the first victories against New York Red Bulls on Wednesday.
2022 MLS MVP Hany Mukhtar pushed by the last success, Nashville (7-4-2, 23 points) at the Eastern Conference upgraded to the fourth place.
DC United (3-6-4, 13 points) in the last two matches after not being able to score and the New York City FC in a score-free shot with the best threat of the ankle injury will not have the best threat Christian Benteke (six goals).
For DC United, it adds a more difficult date because they encounter a Nashville team that accumulates more points by any of MLS at home.
“We want Geodis Park to be a really hard place to play,” Nashville coach BJ Callaghan said. He said. “And now, it is.”
Nashville with six home winnings, since entering the league in 2020 MLS playoffs for the first time (five) has already exceeded the total.
Mukhtar scored four goals in the last three home matches and gave Nashville his first victory over Red Bulls in 63 minutes.
Mukhtar (six goals, four assists) and Sam Surridge (six goals, three assists) fuel the attack on Nashville.
During his drought, DC had difficulty in chance to chance because he had only seven shots on the target.
DC United coach Troy Lesesne, after a score match on Wednesday, “We did a good job to break the first line, but we did not advance the ball enough.” He said.
The bright point against the New York City FC was the goalkeeper Luis Barraza (six savings). Barraza scored only eight goals in six games.
“DC is a really good team that will offer unique problems for us as they play.” He said. “Open for a win.”
