Nashville SC and Colorado Rapids come into Leagues Cup 2023 in very different forms. Nashville, despite playing poorly coming into the tournament, currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference table. Colorado, on the other hand, have been the third-worst club in MLS and no player on the club has more than two goals this season. Matches aren’t played on paper, but Nashville should be able to play this tournament-opening match to their advantage.
Central Group 3: What’s at stake?
The Rapids come into the tournament looking like the odd team out. Not only will Nashville SC be a tough match, but the third team in this group, Toluca FC, isn’t far removed from an appearance in the LIGA MX final. Touca and Nashville should get out of the group stage but it will be a tall orderfor either to go on to win the whole thing.
