Nashville will host Columbus Crew at Geodis Park on Sunday (March 30) in the MLS.
The hosts were thrashed 5-0 by Los Angeles FC in their last game. They were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin after playing the final half hour with 10 men.
Nashville are 11th in the Eastern Conference with six points from five games. They are four points behind Columbus, who are fourth. Columbus, meanwhile, lost 2-0 to Charlotte in a tense clash at the Bank of America Stadium last weekend.
The defending champions conceded twice in the final 10 minutes as they fell to their first defeat of the new season.
