Nashville had allowed just two goals in their first seven games of 2023, ranking first in the MLS for fewest goals conceded through seven games, but after last Saturday's 2-1 loss to New York City FC, they no longer hold that distinction.
The Music have a good seven points from their four home games thus far, despite the fact that their most recent home game ended in a disheartening 0-0 draw with Toronto FC.
As for the opposition, LAFC has had a great start to their MLS season and is continuing where they left off in 2022 as the clear frontrunner to win the title again. Steve Cherundolo's team doesn't appear to be hindered by anything, not even the demands of the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL).
Los Angeles, who has 17 points domestically after seven games and four clean sheets in their previous five games across all competitions, does not currently appear to be affected by weariness.
In addition, LAFC finished matchday eight of the MLS unblemished, placing them in second place in the Western Conference after last weekend's El Trafico triumph.
