Nashville SC vs. St. Louis City SC picks and predictions
Prediction
Nashville SC 2, St. Louis City SC 0
Moneyline (ML)
LEAN NASHVILLE SC (-145).
The reasoning is here for Nashville to come out on top at home, and the value has increased Saturday morning.
Nashville has been on fire as of late, and it has a very talented team to back that up. St. Louis has been impressive, but it has struggled on the road. It has been even worse as of late, losing 3 of its last 4 road matches.
It has had fewer expected goals than its opponent in 4 straight road matches as well. The value isn’t there to take this for a full unit, but for a half-unit, back NASHVILLE SC (-145).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+100).
St. Louis’ offense has been electric, but it has been hit or miss. Over its last 4 road matches, it has scored just 1 goal and gone Under this total in 3 of 4 matches despite still averaging 2.06 goals per game.
It allowed just 1.06 while Nashville allows just 0.71, so both teams have a rock-solid defense. Nashville has not allowed multiple goals at home this season and has had 4 clean sheets in 9 matches. It has gone Under this total in 5 of 9 home matches as well.
Back UNDER 2.5 (+100).
