How Nashville is coming into the MLS showdown:
Nashville will enter this matchup coming off a 0-0 draw in MLS vs. the Chicago Fire. In that match, Nashville had 37% possession and 5 shots on goal with 4 shots on target. They managed 8 shots on goal with 3 shots on target. Their most recent scores illuminate the fact that there has been a lot of strength in the Nashville backline. Nashville has been “miserable” with their opponents, allowing them to beat their goalie in their past 6 games only 4 times. With previous results aside, we should wait and see if that trend is replicated here in this match.
How Orlando City is coming into the MLS showdown:
After tasting defeat the last time they faced the New Eng. Revolution in MLS play, Orlando City will be aiming for some redress on this pitch. In that match, Orlando City managed 46% possession and 13 scoring chances with 3 shots on goal. For Orlando City, the goals were scored by Dike (’18) and Schlegel (’35 own goal). New Eng. Revolution had 13 shots on goal with 1 shot on target. Buksa (‘9) scored for New Eng. Revolution.
Having indicated their love of high-scoring encounters, we have seen goals 21 times in the 6 previous matches in which Orlando City has taken the field, managing an average of 3.5 goals per match. Their opponents have scored 14 of these goals.
Prediction for the matchday in MLS between Nashville and Orlando City:
We have a feeling Orlando City will have the offensive ability to break through Nashville’s goal line. However, that may not be enough to come out on top. We’re picking a very close 2-1 lead for Nashville with nothing left to play for. We expect it to be a tight result, plus Orlando City has an average of 1.42 goals scored, while Nashville SC concedes an average of 0.92 goals per game. With that, and the fact that the under 2.5 goals market tends to perform well in Major League Soccer.
