Toronto FC vs. Nashville SC: What you need to know

NASHVILLE – Toronto FC kicked off a challenging four-game road swing earlier this week with an impressive clean sheet win over San Diego FC, the Western Conference leaders.

But more tough tests await the Reds in their travels, including this weekend's visit to one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

"It's somewhat subdued right now, but I think [we have] a good amount of confidence coming off [Wednesday's] result," coach Robin Fraser said on Friday.

Here’s what you need to know about Saturday's match between Toronto and Nashville SC at Geodis Park (8:30 p.m. ET/TSN & Apple TV).
