Very good game this Saturday in MLS between two strong Eastern Conference teams such as Nashville and D. C. United, and both need to win.
The Music has lost its last two games and must get back to winning ways to avoid falling behind the conference leaders.
Meanwhile, the Black-and-Red surprised last weekend with a big victory against Cincinnati and showed that they have the weapons to fight.

D. C. United +300
Draw Offs:

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Nashville?
Nashville was at the top of the table, fighting with Cincinnati and New England. However, in their last two games they lost against Montreal (1-0) and Columbus (2-0), so they dropped to third place with 35 points, 8 less than the leader.
Although they have suffered two defeats, they have been a great home team and have 5 consecutive victories and 7 undefeated matches. In the tournament, they have 7 wins, 2 ties, and only 1 loss (versus Cincinnati, 0-1).
Among the concerns of coach, Gary Smith is that they have gone two games without scoring a goal. However, Hany Mukhtar, the team’s leading scorer (13) and top assister (6) has 8 goals and 3 assists in the last 5 home games.
Among the team’s absentees are Aníbal Godoy (Panama), Jacob Shaffelburg (Canada), and Fafà Picault (Haiti), who are with their national team in the Gold Cup. Undoubtedly, these are three very important players in Nashville and are difficult to replace.
Why Bet on D. C. United?
D. C. United bounced back in a big way and delivered a blow to the MLS table by defeating Cincinnati 3-0 this weekend. It was just the second loss of the tournament for the MLS super-leaders, while DC managed to hold on to ninth place in the conference with 26 points.
It was only the seventh win for Wayne Rooney’s team, three of which have been away: Inter Miami (1-2), Orlando City (1-3), and Montreal (0-1). The Washington side lost their last away game when they visited Atlanta United (3-1).
The Black-and-Red have no players called up for the Gold Cup and will be able to count on captain Steve Birnbaum, who was sent off against Real Salt Lake.
On the other hand, Christian Benteke, the team’s top scorer (8) and who was recently called up to the MLS All-Star Game versus Arsenal, has not scored in 3 games.
Final Betting Analysis: Nashville vs. D. C. United
It will be an interesting duel to watch and Nashville has the opportunity at home to make up for lost ground. However, they have 3 important casualties and D. C. United has shown that it has not been a bad visitor. It will be a duel between two great scorers like Mukhtar and Benteke, and we think it will be a draw.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Nashville is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -116, while D. C United has +300 and the draw is +280.
The last time they met was on May 13 this year in Washington and they finished 1-1, while Nashville has not played at home since August 15, 2021, and on that occasion won 5-2.
In total, they have met 5 times, and D.C. United has never been able to win: 2 draws and 1 loss at home and 2 losses away.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on a draw at +280, you will gain $280 for a total payout of $380.
