The MLS is back in action with another set of important matches this weekend as Chicago Fire take on Nashville SC at the Nissan Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have had their issues this season and have a point to prove this weekend.
Chicago Fire have struggled in the MLS this year and are currently in 12th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings. The Illinois outfit stunned Orlando City by a 3-1 margin last week and will want a similar result from this match.
Nashville SC, on the other hand, have punched above their weight this year and are in fifth place in the league table at the moment. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Atlanta United last week and will want to return to winning ways in this fixture.
Nashville SC vs Chicago Fire Head-to-Head
Nasville SC and Chicago Fire are on an even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have played out a draw in the only MLS fixture between the two teams.
The game in question took place in November last year and ended in a fairly hard-fought 1-1 draw. Both teams missed a few chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.
