Nashville SC hosts LAFC for Matchday 14's Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire doubleheader finale.

What to Expect

The match will take place on Sunday, May 17, at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville SC has been the team to beat in the Eastern Conference, setting the pace in their second season under head coach B.J. Callaghan. The team has been enjoying a six-match league unbeaten streak, despite star striker Sam Surridge missing time due to a back injury.

Key Players

Hany Mukhtar and Cristian Espinoza have been leading the way for Nashville SC, with Mukhtar having 3g/5a and Espinoza having 3g/7a. Warren Madrigal has also been making an impact, scoring three goals in the last two games. Maxwell Woledzi has been a seamless replacement for departed club legend Walker Zimmerman, helping Nashville concede a joint-MLS low eight goals.

Predicted Lineup

Nashville SC may need to replace All-Star fullback Andy Nájar after he suffered a muscle injury in Wednesday's win at New England. The team's current league standing is 6th in Major League Soccer, with 54 pts, 16W-6D-12L from 34 games, and a recent form of LDWLL. Their last result was a 1-0 loss to Chicago Fire on 2026-04-05. Their next fixture is against Atlanta United FC at home on 2026-07-18.

LAFC's Struggles

LAFC has been struggling, winless in four games across all competitions, and has lost two straight league matches. The team's head coach, Marc Dos Santos, is under pressure to right the ship. Son Heung-Min leads MLS with eight assists, while Denis Bouanga is LAFC's all-time leading scorer with 111 goals. David Martínez has scored 4g/2a amid a breakout season, and Hugo Lloris leads MLS with eight clean sheets.
