Nashville SC enters Saturday’s Eastern Conference clash with a historic opportunity, aiming to break the Major League Soccer record for most home wins in a single season. Hosting the Philadelphia Union at Geodis Park at 7 p.m. CT on October 28, the Supporters’ Shield champions currently sit at 21-7-3 with 70 points. A victory would allow them to surpass the New York Red Bulls’ 2018 benchmark of 14 home wins, cementing their dominance at home this campaign.
Nashville seeks historic home win record while Philadelphia fights for a direct playoff spot.
The momentum is firmly with Nashville, who secured a 2-0 road victory over CF Montréal on October 24. Hany Mukhtar extended his impressive scoring streak to six consecutive games, while goalkeeper Brian Schwake delivered his 14th clean sheet of the season. Schwake is now just two shutouts away from tying the MLS regular-season record, adding a personal milestone to the team’s historic pursuit.
Philadelphia Union, currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, arrives with a 13-7-11 record and 46 points after a 2-1 loss to the New England Revolution. Sitting four points ahead of the wild-card threshold, the Union are under pressure to secure a direct playoff berth and avoid the high-stakes wild-card game. Fans can follow the action through The Tennessean’s live updates, while the match will air exclusively on Apple TV.
