Reeling from their midweek AFC Champions League exit, a disconsolate Nashville play host to Charlotte FC at Geodis Park in the MLS on Saturday.
Dean Smith’s men have failed to win their last four away games in the league and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.
Nashville were dumped out of the Champions League as they fell to a 3-1 second-leg defeat against Inter Miami last Wednesday, having played out a 2-2 draw with the Herons in the reverse leg on March 8.
Gary Smith’s men now turn their attention to the MLS, where they are yet to taste victory this season, playing out three draws in their opening three matches.
Nashville will be backing themselves to find their feet this weekend as they return to Geodis Park, where they are unbeaten in their four matches this season.
Charlotte FC, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the season as they were beaten 1-0 by Toronto FC at BMO Field on March 9.
Prior to that, Smith’s men kicked off the season with a 1-0 victory over New York City FC on February 25, one week before playing out a 1-1 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps.
Charlotte head into the weekend unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches in all competitions, picking up three wins and four draws since the start of pre-season.
