Betting on Nashville SC
Nashville SC ended its unbeaten streak last weekend with a 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution, but not only that: it ended the unbeaten streak it had maintained in its first three matches. They now have two wins, a tie, and a loss, which adds up to seven points, enough to place them in the top four of the Eastern Conference.
This weekend they will be at home for the third time this season, and if there is one thing the Tennessee team has been good at, it is playing on their home field, having won the previous two and scored all four of their goals here. What is even more, Nashville SC is one of the four teams that has not allowed any goals at home so far.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Joe Willis; Shaq Moore, Walker Zimmerman, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz; Dax McCarty, Sean Davis; Alex Muyl, Hany Mukhtar, Jacob Shaffelburg; Teal Bunbury.
Betting on FC Cincinnati
After four games played, FC Cincinnati is among the five teams that remain undefeated in the campaign. It has managed to achieve two wins and two draws. They come into this match after a 3-3 draw against the Chicago Fire, where they came from behind in the final minutes to avoid defeat.
Precisely, that was their last away performance and in this Nashville SC vs FC Cincinnati matchup they will be playing in enemy territory once again. Although they have drawn the two games they have played in that capacity this season, they are on a three-game winless streak, with their last away win taking place in October 2022.
Possible Lineup (5-3-2): Roman Celentano; Raymon Gaddis, Yerson Mosquera, Matthew Miazga, Ian Murphy, Álvaro Barreal; Obinna Nwobodo, Marco Angulo, Júnior Moreno; Brandon Vazquez, Brenner.
JefeBet Prediction
The two franchises are having a good start to the season and there is only one point difference between them at the moment, but from what Nashville has done at home, it is expected that they will be the winner of this Nashville SC vs FC Cincinnati matchup. These teams have met four times since playing in MLS, and the only two victories registered belong to Nashville SC.
Prediction: Nashville SC wins by a score of 2-0.
