Prediction
Atlanta United 3, Nashville SC 1
Moneyline (ML)
ATLANTA UNITED FC (+110) is an awfully tough assignment for the fledgling Nashville SC (+210) club in its first-ever MLS regular-season match. The schedule maker wanted to get a jump on the geographical rivalry, but they did Nashville no favors sending last season’s semifinalists in for the opener. This is a very deep Atlanta United team, and they’ll flex a little muscle, pulling away in the second half.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-154) could potentially be taken care of by Atlanta all by themselves. They were the second-highest scoring team in the Eastern Conference last season, averaging 1.71 goals per game, and they’ll have the good fortune of facing an expansion team in the season opener. They’ll find the back of the net early and often in Week 1.
