MONTREAL - CF Montréal returns to MLS action this Wednesday at 7:30pm when the Club takes on Nashville SC at Stade Saputo (MLS Season Pass, RDS, TSN, BPM Sports, TSN 690).

Montreal will once again be looking to defend its fortress at Stade Saputo. Since the start of the season, head coach Hernán Losada's men have won six of their last seven home matches (6-1-0). Their only defeat on home soil came on April 15 against D.C. United (0-1).

Montreal will be looking not only for its first win against Nashville (0-4-2), but also for a sixth consecutive shutout home victory in MLS. The Bleu-blanc-noir became the fifth club in league history to earn five straight clean sheet home wins, following the team's 4-0 triumph against Minnesota. The Kansas City Wizards achieved six consecutive shutout victories at home in the 2000 season.

The home side will also have to contend with the absence of fullback Aaron Herrera, who has been called up to the Guatemalan national team during the international break.

A strong challenge awaits the Montrealers who will be welcoming an opponent with the best goal differential in the Eastern Conference (+15). Nashville sits second in the East, having defeated St. Louis CITY SC 3-1 at GEODIS Park last Saturday, thanks to a hat-trick from designated player Hany Mukhtar. It was Mukhtar's fourth MLS hat-trick. The attacking midfielder has scored 10 goals since the beginning of May, including two hat-tricks. The win over St. Louis also extended Nashville's unbeaten run to 10 games (7-0-3).
