Toronto FC host Nashville SC at BMO Field in a Major League Soccer Eastern Conference fixture that pitches the table leaders against a home side in need of points.
Robin Fraser's Toronto sit eleventh in the East, a position that reflects a season of inconsistency. They drew 4-4 with Chicago Fire in their most recent outing, a result that summed up a campaign in which they have struggled to hold leads. Points have come, but not in the clusters a playoff push demands.
Nashville arrive as the form side in the Eastern Conference. BJ Callaghan's squad have won four of their last five MLS matches, with wins over FC Cincinnati, Columbus Crew, Red Bull New York, and Inter Miami all arriving in that run. They sit first in the East and travel to Toronto with real momentum.
The visitors' most recent result was a 0-0 draw with New York City FC on September 4, ending a run of three straight wins. That point, on the road at Yankee Stadium, still extended their lead at the top of the table.
For Toronto, this fixture at BMO Field is a chance to produce a result against the conference's best side. Fraser's team have shown they can score — eight goals in their last five MLS games — but their defensive record, seven conceded in that same stretch, will be tested by a Nashville attack that has not stopped firing.
TV channel and live stream options for the match are listed below.
