Nashville SC and CF Montreal resume MLS campaigns
Matchday 16 of Major League Soccer gets underway at Geodis Park as Nashville SC host CF Montreal. Both sides return to competitive action following a significant break for the FIFA World Cup, with Nashville looking to maintain their strong league position.
Team news and expected lineups
Nashville SC's expected starting XI sees Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge leading the line, supported by Shak Mohammed and Ahmed Qasem in attack. The midfield is expected to feature Matthew Corcoran, Edvard Tagseth, and Daniel Lovitz, while the defence is set to be marshalled by Maxwell Woledzi, Jack Maher, Josh Bauer, and Brian Schwake in goal. CF Montreal's predicted lineup includes Gennadiy Synchuk and Victor Loturi in midfield, with Prince Osei Owusu and Noah Streit expected to spearhead the attack. Thomas Gillier will likely start in goal, protected by a defence comprising Luca Petrasso, Brayan Vera, Jalen Neal, and Dawid Bugaj. Matthew Longstaff and Samuel Piette are also expected to feature in midfield.
Key absences
Nashville SC will be without Patrick Yazbek due to injury, a notable absence in their midfield. CF Montreal also faces a significant blow with Wikelman Carmona sidelined through injury, impacting their attacking options.
Nashville SC's strong run
Nashville SC arrive at this fixture aiming to extend an impressive nine-match unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer, a run that has seen them secure seven wins and two draws. Their last outing before the World Cup break was a 1-0 victory over Atlanta United, a result that solidified their standing at the top of the Supporters' Shield standings. This sustained period of strong form suggests a team confident in its ability to perform.
CF Montreal's quest for momentum
CF Montreal are looking to put a 'chaotic first half of the season' behind them as they resume their MLS campaign. A recent 0-0 draw against rivals Toronto FC provided a stabilizing result, offering a platform from which to build momentum. The team's return to competitive rhythm after a lengthy hiatus will be crucial as they seek to climb the standings.
Head-to-head history
The historical encounters between Nashville SC and CF Montreal present a mixed picture. In their most recent meeting on 4 October 2025, the sides played out a 1-1 draw in Major League Soccer. Nashville secured a dominant 3-0 victory on 23 March 2025, while earlier in 2024, Nashville won 4-1 at home after CF Montreal had taken a 1-0 victory at home in 2023. This history suggests that while Nashville has had periods of dominance, CF Montreal has also proven capable of taking points.
What to watch
With both teams returning from a significant break, the early stages of the match could be characterised by a feeling-out process as players regain match sharpness. Nashville's established unbeaten run provides a strong foundation, but CF Montreal's desire to rebound from a turbulent period, coupled with the individual form of Prince Osei Owusu, could make for a competitive encounter.
