Only one team in Major League Soccer has played three home games in 2025 and won all three. Nashville SC has a chance to change that this weekend.
Nashville takes on Charlotte FC on Saturday at Bank of America Stadium (1:30 p.m., Apple TV). Both teams have 3-2-1 records, 10 points and plus-4 goal differentials, though Charlotte’s higher goal total places them fifth in the Eastern Conference, just one spot ahead of Nashville with the season less than two months old.
Charlotte is 3-0 at home and has outscored opponents 8-1. After finishing ninth in the East its first two seasons in MLS, it placed fifth in 2024, though it fell to Orlando City in the first round of the playoffs.
Nashville’s three-game winning streak came to an end last Saturday when it lost 2-1 to FC Cincinnati, conceding a penalty kick in the 91st minute. NSC was off to its best-ever start through five MLS games.
