FC Cincinnati will be eyeing the top spot in the Major League Soccer (MLS) standings as they head into a game against Nashville at the TQL Stadium on Wednesday.
The hosts are second in the league table, only a point adrift and with a game in hand over leaders Inter Miami. And the challenge should be fairly straightforward based on recent form as Nashville are struggling in 11th place with just three wins from their 14 matches so far this season.
