showing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsmole.co.uk\/people\/bj-callaghan\/\" title=\"BJ Callaghan\">BJ Callaghan<\/a>\u2019s side can extend their MLS winning run to five matches on Wednesday, which would set a franchise record for them in this competition.<\/p>\n<p>In 2026, they have dropped points in only one domestic outing in the Music City, collecting at least a point in all eight of their league fixtures at Geodis Park this year.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout their time in this competition, the blueprint of this team has been their defensive shape, and that has remained true this season as they have conceded the fewest goals in the league thus far (11).<\/p>\n<p>That said, they have been sharp in front of goal as well, netting three or more times in five MLS affairs at home this season.<\/p>\n<p>Nashville have never lost a league fixture at home versus Montreal, winning those last four such meetings against them in this competition.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

Imago \/ Eyepix Group<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Montreal took another small positive step forward in their last outing, extending their unbeaten run domestically to two matches.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, they can claim just their second MLS away victory of 2026 and their first since a 3-0 win at the New York Red Bulls in March.<\/p>\n<p>As tough of a campaign as they have incurred so far, Le CFM are just three points below the Eastern Conference playoff line heading into this game.<\/p>\n<p>Philippe Eullaffroy\u2019s men could go unbeaten in consecutive MLS away contests for the first time in 2026, after a wild 4-4 draw at DC United before the World Cup break.<\/p>\n<p>Le CFM have conceded three or more goals in six regular-season away encounters this year, including at least four on three occasions.<\/p>\n<p>They are in danger of going goalless in successive league games for the second time in 2026 after failing to net in their first two MLS affairs of this regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Nashville SC Major League Soccer form:<\/p>\n<p>Nashville SC form (all competitions):<\/p>\n<p>CF Montreal Major League Soccer form:<\/p>\n<p>CF Montreal form (all
