With nine points in seven games, New York City FC has had a respectable, if not spectacular start to the season. However, they are already eight points behind FC Cincinnati, who is now leading the Eastern Conference.
Although their recent results have tailed off, NYCFC has been strong at home in their first three games, picking up seven points while defeating DC United and Inter Miami back in March.
Nick Cushing's team has gone three games without a victory while only accruing two points, but they can still count themselves quite fortunate to have gained anything from the most recent game.
The Music, who placed seventh in the previous season's MLS standings, are performing about as well as was predicted. They have 11 points after seven games, which puts them comfortably inside the playoff spots.
The defence of Gary Smith's team has stood out thus far this season. They have only allowed two goals, the fewest of any team in either the Eastern or Western Conference, and have preserved a clean sheet in five of their seven games.
Nashville has amassed a respectable four points from their first three away games, and the only two teams they have lost to this season are Cincinnati and the New England Revolution, who hold the top two spots in the Eastern Conference.
