Nashville SC will welcome Orlando City to Geodis Park in the MLS on Wednesday night.
The hosts clinched a playoff spot for the fourth straight season thanks to Saturday's goalless draw against the Seattle Sounders, which was intriguingly their fourth draw of their last five matches (W1).
They are currently sitting in seventh place and could finish the regular season in the same position unless they put together some wins and sixth-place Atlanta United drop points.
Orlando City, meanwhile, returned to their winning ways with an emphatic 3-0 victory against Montreal. The visitors are in second place in the Eastern Conference and head into the postseason in some serious form, with eight wins in their last 12 league games.
