Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Nashville SC play host to Chicago Fire on Wednesday. Frank Klopas’ men have failed to win their last three visits to Geodis Park and will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the hosts.
Nashville picked up three huge points in their push for a playoff spot last weekend when they secured a 2-0 victory over Atlanta United at the Mercedes Benz Stadium.
Before that, B.J. Callaghan’s side were on a 10-game losing streak, including successive defeats against Mazatlan and New England Revolution in the Leagues Cup group stages back in August.
Nashville will head into Wednesday looking to pick up back-to-back wins for the first time since seeing off Toronto FC and New York City FC back in June.

With 29 points from 29 matches, Chicago Fire are 13th in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with Wednesday’s hosts and four points adrift of the play-in qualifying places.
