Nashville SC and Atlanta United face off in the MLS on Saturday, with both teams looking to climb their way up in the Eastern Conference standings.
The hosts beat Toronto FC on Wednesday, moving up to 10th in the Eastern Conference. Yet on Thursday, the team confirmed they had decided to part company with head coach Gary Smith, who had been in charge for seven seasons.
The visitors, meanwhile, currently sit in 12th place, leaving them at risk of being cut adrift of the top seven if their three-game losing streak continues.
