New York City FC and Nashville SC clash on Sunday, October 6, at Red Bull Arena in what promises to be an exciting Matchday 33 encounter in the MLS. The game, initially scheduled for 4:10 PM ET, was delayed to 4:25 PM ET due to a safety sweep at the arena.
New York City FC, currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, is aiming to extend their winning streak and maintain their push for a top-four spot. They need to win this game and their next one on Decision Day in Montréal, while hoping Orlando loses to Atlanta United, to secure home field advantage in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Nashville SC, on the other hand, has been eliminated from playoff contention following DC United‘s win over the New England Revolution. Despite this, Nashville has a strong record against New York City FC, winning three of their five meetings, although they have never won away from home against NYCFC.
The game will be streamed on Apple TV via the MLS Season Pass subscription. Nashville will be without key players Lukas MacNaughton and Tyler Boyd due to injuries, while NYCFC will rely on their top scorers like Adrian Alonso Martinez Batista and Santiago Rodriguez.
The weather forecast for the game is a warm, clear early autumn afternoon with a temperature of 71°F (21°C), setting the stage for an action-packed match.
