After a narrow and controversial loss, Charlotte FC will try to reset the momentum when they visit the Columbus Crew on Saturday night in a clash between two of the Eastern Conference’s top clubs. Charlotte FC (6-3-1, 19 points) saw its four-match unbeaten streak snapped in a 1-0 defeat to the New England Revolution last weekend. Head coach Dean Smith was left frustrated not just by the missed opportunities, but by the officiating that overshadowed the contest. Smith and midfielder Ashley Westwood were fined for post-match comments about the referees, including claims of a missed offside call on the Revs’ goal. Despite the result, Smith remains encouraged by his team’s performance, especially the number of open looks in the first

After a nightmarish start to the season, the Colorado Rockies suddenly have momentum. Fresh off back-to-back wins — including Thursday night’s 4-3 rally over the San Francisco Giants — the Rockies will aim for their first three-game winning streak of the season on Friday night at Oracle Park. Colorado’s win over the Giants marked several significant milestones for the struggling club. It snapped a 13-game road losing streak and ended a 12-game skid at Oracle Park dating back to July 2023.

Captain Jonathan Osorio is unlikely to feature after suffering a dislocated shoulder in Wednesday’s Canadian Championship loss to CF Montreal. While the severity is still unclear, coach Robin Fraser suggested it could be a lingering issue. Federico Bernardeschi is also questionable with an ankle issue, though the team is optimistic about his availability. Toronto (1-5-4, 7 points) has earned points in four of its last five matches (1-1-3) but remains winless at home (0-2-2) this season. New England (4-4-1, 13 points) head

After one of the most dominant offensive showings in MLS history, Nashville SC will look to keep the momentum rolling when they visit Atlanta United on Saturday afternoon. Nashville (5-4-1, 16 points) dismantled the Chicago Fire 7-2 last weekend, scoring five goals in the first half alone — a feat accomplished by just four other teams in MLS history. The star of the show? Sam Surridge, who netted four goals in a record-setting performance. The 26-year-old striker now leads Nashville with six goals, surpassing former MVP Hany Mukhtar (four). Nashville has won two of its last three matches and is trending upward in the Eastern Conference standings. In stark contrast, Atlanta (2-5-3, 9 points) is in desperate need of a
