Home Stretch – Nashville has made history through the first seven matches of its eight-match road trip.

The team’s 1.57 road points per match through seven matches is the highest of any team in Major League Soccer history to play eight or more road matches to start a season (the most prior was Portland, who had 1.17 road points per match in 12 road matches in 2019).

Head Coach Gary Smith says he is proud of the displays his team has put on during a difficult stretch of away matches.

“Putting 11 points on the board was always going to be a stretch, especially with the opponents and challenges we were going to face,” Smith said. “The hope always was that we would put enough points on the board to be in a competitive world and not put too much pressure on some of these home games that are coming up quickly. I think the players have done an incredible job of bagging the amount that we have. I think they’ve also done an incredible job with the way they’ve conducted themselves, with the way that they’ve performed, and certainly with the displays that we’ve shown on the road.”
