Nashville SC host CF Montreal at Geodis Park in a Major League Soccer fixture that puts the Eastern Conference leaders against a side still searching for consistency on the road.
BJ Callaghan's side have been the standout team in the East this season. Four wins from their last five MLS matches — including a 1-0 victory over Atlanta United on July 18 — have Nashville firmly established at the top of the table, and Geodis Park has become a difficult place for visiting sides to pick up points.
CF Montreal arrive in Tennessee having just navigated a demanding stretch of fixtures. Philippe Eullaffroy's side claimed back-to-back wins over Vancouver FC in the Canadian Championship, results that provided a timely lift before returning to league duties. Their last MLS outing, a goalless draw with Toronto FC on July 16, showed a team that can be hard to break down but has struggled to impose itself in the final third away from home.
The gap in the standings tells its own story. Nashville sit first in the Eastern Conference, while Montreal are down in 11th — a position that reflects the inconsistency that has run through their league campaign. A 4-4 draw with DC United earlier in the season underlined both their attacking potential and their defensive vulnerabilities.
Montreal will need to be far more disciplined here than they have been in patches this season. Nashville have won four consecutive MLS matches and carry the kind of momentum that makes them a threat from the first whistle.

Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- B. Callaghan
- P. Eullaffroy
Nashville SC head coach BJ Callaghan has not confirmed a probable starting lineup ahead of this fixture, and no injury or suspension concerns have been listed for the home side at this stage. Updates will be added closer to kick-off as further information becomes available.
CF Montreal manager Philippe Eullaffroy is similarly yet to confirm his projected XI, with no injuries or suspensions formally declared for the away side. Squad details will be added as they emerge.
Form
Nashville SC have been in excellent form, winning four of their last five MLS matches and drawing one. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win over Atlanta United on July 18, and earlier in this run they also beat Los Angeles FC 3-2 and New York City FC 2-1. The only dropped points came in a 2-2 draw with DC United. Nashville have scored nine goals and conceded five across those five matches.
CF Montreal's recent record is more mixed. They have won two, drawn two, and lost one across their last five outings in all competitions. Their most recent league result was a 0-0 draw with Toronto FC on July 16, while their two wins came against Vancouver FC in the Canadian Championship. A 4-4 draw with DC United and a 0-2 defeat to Chicago Fire in MLS show a side that can score freely but has yet to find the defensive solidity needed to compete at the top end of the table.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides ended 1-1 when CF Montreal hosted Nashville SC in MLS on October 4, 2025. Before that, Nashville won 3-0 at home in March 2025. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures, Nashville hold the better record with two wins to Montreal's one, and two draws. Nashville's 4-1 home victory in May 2024 stands as the most emphatic result in recent meetings.
Standings
In the MLS Eastern Conference, Nashville SC currently sit first while CF Montreal are 11th.
