Betting on New York City FC
New York City hasn’t had the best start to the season, experiencing some ups and downs with two wins, three draws, and two losses. This puts them in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
The team has struggled to find a balance between offense and defense, scoring seven goals but conceding eight. If they want to find some consistency, they’ll need to improve in this area.
Luckily, they’re playing at home next, and this is a venue where they’ve felt comfortable with two wins and a draw so far. They haven’t suffered any losses at home yet. In fact, they managed to secure a draw in their last match against Atlanta United, ending 1-1.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Luis Barraza; Mitja Ilenic, Thiago Martins, Maxine Chanot, Brian Cufré; James Sands, Keaton Parks; Matias Pellegrini, Santiago Rodriguez, Talles Magno; Gabriel Pereira.
Betting on Nashville SC
Nashville’s current situation isn’t too different from their rival’s. In fact, they are only two points apart in the standings. However, they have managed to maintain a good balance between offense and defense, scoring six goals and only conceding two.
In this context, even though they are not a high-scoring team, Nashville SC has stood out for their defensive solidity throughout the matches played. So much so that the two goals they have conceded put them at the top of the Eastern Conference’s best defense.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Joe Willis; Shaquell Moore, Walker Zimmerman, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz; Aníbal Godoy, Sean Davis, Luke Haakenson, Fafà Picault; Hany Mukhtar, C. J. Sapong.
JefeBet Prediction
Without a doubt, this match is a tough one to call. Both teams have been inconsistent and find themselves practically tied in the standings.
They’ll now meet in New York, where the home team has yet to taste defeat. But Nashville SC has all the weapons to counter this, although it won’t be an easy task. That’s why, ahead of this New York City FC vs Nashville SC game, at JefeBet, we’re expecting a closely contested draw between the two sides.
Prediction: Moneyline Tie (NEW 1-1 NAS)
