Prediction
Nashville SC 2, D.C. United 1
Money line (ML)
“LEAN” on NASHVILLE SC (+115) as it’s just a different team at home and has won six of 11 matches at Nissan Stadium. Along those lines, United has lost five of 10 matches on the road.
Twenty-six-year-old MF Hany Mukhtar has been the star of the season for Nashville SC. Even without D Walker Zimmerman, Nashville should be fine as United may be without up to six players.
Nashville has been dominant at home, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them come out on top again. Without its top defender, put just half a unit on Nashville.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the OVER 2.5 (+120) as both these teams have a balanced scoring attack. As Nashville is without its All-Star defender, expect United to get on the board at least once.
However, Nashville’s attack should be able to carry it to victory. Nashville scored 26 goals in 18 matches. United has scored 27 goals in 18 matches. These two teams have lethal attacking players.
Nashville hit the Over in four of its last seven matches while United played to the Over in six of their last eight. Expect at least 3 goals to be netted Sunday.
