Betting on Nashville SC
Nashville SC looked pretty weak in their matchup last week against New York City FC (2-1), going down 2-0 at halftime. Their attack wasn’t sharp, and it seemed like they wouldn’t score, but Hany Mukhtar finally scored a pride goal at minute 81. This is the third loss of the season, where they also have three wins and two draws.
The positive thing about the Tennessee team is that they’ve allowed the fewest goals this season (4). This will be their fifth home game, where they have two wins, one draw, and one loss and only one goal against. However, their level has decreased without being able to win in the last two games played at their stadium.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Joe Willis; Shaq Moore, Walker Zimmerman, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz; Jacob Shaffelburg, Aníbal Godoy, Sean Davis, Fafa Picault; Charles Sapong, Hany Mukhtar.
Betting on LAFC
LAFC is on a roll with five wins and two draws in their last seven games. They just clinched a huge victory in their latest match, and it wasn’t just any victory —they beat LA Galaxy in the Traffic Classic by a score of 2-3.
Despite their consistent positive results, the LA-based team isn’t leading the Western Conference, and that’s surely one of their short-term goals. They head into this game with two consecutive wins, along with an impressive seven-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. However, they’ve only won one out of their three away games in the league, and that was in their most recent performance.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): John McCarthy; Ryan Hollingshead, Jesus Murillo, Aaron Long, Diego Palacios; Jose Cifuentes, Ilie Sanchez, Kellyn Acosta, Carlos Vela, Kwadwo Opoku, Denis Bouanga.
JefeBet Prediction
At some point, the champion’s luck will run out, but if they ride the momentum of their victory in the LA derby, it’s unlikely to happen here. LAFC is showcasing a solid offensive performance, which will work in their favor, even though they’re up against the best defense of the season.
Prediction: LAFC Moneyline (NSH 0 – 2 LAFC)
