The emotions of the 2023 Major League Soccer (MLS) season continue, and the teams arrive at week 20 with the firm conviction of adding victories that will allow them to climb positions in their respective conferences.
Let’s remember that the mission of the teams is to finish the regular season within the best 9 of each conference so they can stay alive, at least, in the playoffs. In addition, the teams know that we are already leaving the midway point behind so they cannot falter, as a negative streak could easily kick them out of the places that qualify.
In the MLS Eastern Conference, FC Cincinnati leads the table with a six-point cushion over Nashville. Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, St. Louis City took a three-point cushion at the top over the Seattle Sounders and LAFC, their closest pursuers. This weekend we will have a really interesting match between Charlotte and the Eastern Conference leader.
