Nashville SC and Orlando City face off in the second leg of the MLS Cup playoffs with the former looking to revive themselves after the first leg defeat and the latter looking to march through to the next round.
After a narrow defeat in the first leg of the three-legged tie, Nashville would be vying to turn around their fortunes and maintain hopes of going through to the next round with a win in their own backyard. The biggest problem for the American side is their shambolic slump in front of goal as they have failed to score in five out of six previous games and another goal scoring drought could dump the side out of the season.
Wilder Cartagena scored the all-important goal for Orlando City to give them the lead in the three game tie as they have the perfect opportunity to make it through with a win. Aiming to reach the Eastern Conference semi-finals for just the second time in their history, the Lions would enter the contest with massive confidence and huge hopes.
