Nashville SC host New York Red Bulls at Nashville SC Stadium on Sunday, November 1 (4:30 PM ET / 3:30 PM CT / 1:30 PM PT).
Nashville SC have no fresh fitness concerns and will lean heavily on their front two: Samuel Surridge, who has 18 goals from 68 shots this season, and Hany Mukhtar, the architect behind him with 16 goals and 45 chances created. New York Red Bulls are similarly unaffected by absences and will build around Julian Hall, who has scored 11 goals from 69 shots up top, with Emil Forsberg supplying the final ball from midfield off 42 created chances.
This is a meeting of opposite trajectories in the East. Nashville sit first in the conference with 70 points from 31 games and a +43 goal difference, a record built on defensive control as much as firepower, while Red Bulls arrive ninth and have lurched through results lately. Geodis Park has been an inhospitable away day for most of the league this year, and nothing in New York’s recent pattern suggests they travel south with the control needed to change that.
