Nashville team news and form: Nashville with a last-second push
There’s still a mathematical chance Nashville can qualify for the playoffs. To do so, the visitors will simply have to defeat in-form New York City this week. A feat that we doubt Nashville’s players are capable of.

Player to watch: Sam Surridge
With 11 goals to his name in the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, Surridge is the leading finisher for the visitors so far. However, we don’t think he will be able to ruin our New York City vs Nashville predictions, as coach Cushing’s players performed well at the back in recent games.
Second player to watch: Alonso Martinez
Martinez is also performing at a very high level when it comes to scoring goals. He bagged 14 for New York City and is the key finisher for coach Cushing.
