Inter Miami CF vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, Nashville SC 2

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

The draw has some value here, but considering Inter has won 3 of 4 games in which Messi has been the captain and is 2-0-0 at home in those games, there isn’t much reason to think Nashville will keep pace.

Nashville has drawn 4 of 7 games this season. At +350, the draw is the only playable side, but it still isn’t the best value on the table in this game.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+132).

Nashville’s defense has been a mess this season, allowing at least 2 goals in 3 straight games. They have allowed 9 goals in their last 3 games and have given up more than 1.0 expected goals in all but 1 game to far less competent attacks. Nashville has also scored at least 2 goals in 3 of its last 5.

Inter has gone Over this total in 2 straight games and in 6 of their last 7. They have tallied 5 goals in their last 2 games and have allowed 9 goals in their last 4. Considering those trends from both sides, back OVER 3.5 (+132).

Nashville SC vs. Charlotte FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Nashville SC vs. Charlotte FC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Nashville SC (0 wins, 3 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Charlotte FC (1-1-1) to GEODIS Park Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville SC vs. Charlotte FC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Nashville SC has only drawn this season and has a plethora of results, opening the season with a 0-0 home draw to the Red Bulls then drawing Colorado 1-1 and most recently drawing the LA Galaxy 2-2. Nashville did make the CONCACAF Champions Cup and was eliminated in the Round of 16 after a 3-1 loss in the 2nd leg against Inter Miami Wednesday. Nashville was 1-1-0 against Charlotte last season.

Charlotte got off to a quick start but has struggled on the road. It has won its lone home game and is 0-1-1 in away matches, dropping its most recent battle to Toronto FC in a 1-0 road loss. Charlotte has had more expected goals than its opponent in every game this season and almost had double Toronto in its loss Saturday. F Enzo Copetti leads the team in expected goals at 1.1 through 3 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Nashville SC vs. Charlotte FC picks and predictions

Prediction

Nashville 2, Charlotte 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET NASHVILLE SC (+120).

Charlotte has not played well on the road and doesn’t have the resume to back up that it will get any type of result Saturday. It was 4-5-8 on the road last season and lost its last game to Toronto, a team not expected to make the playoffs.

Nashville’s focus is now away from the CONCACAF Champions Cup and to MLS action. It is getting healthier and should have its star players on the field. Nashville was 9-4-4 at home last season, suggesting this play on the favorite may have strong value if they can repeat those performances.

Expect an experienced Nashville side to come out on top at home. At these odds, back NASHVILLE SC (+120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (+130).

Since the 0-0 draw with New York, Nashville’s offense has been heating up. It has had at least 1.3 expected goals per game and has netted 2 of its last 3 as well. Star F Hany Mukhtar, who has been among the MVP favorites in the last few seasons, finally saw the field and may be due for a larger workload at home.

Charlotte FC has scored 2 goals in 3 games, but they have had at least 1.3 expected goals in 2 of those 3 matches. The finishing will come as the season progresses. The opportunities have been there for both sides.

Expect those to start being capitalized on and take OVER 2.5 (+130).

Analyzing Thursday’s Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami CONCACAF Champions Cup odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Nashville SC welcomes Inter Miami to Geodis Park in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16. Kickoff in the 1st leg is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Both teams have just started their regular season in the MLS with Inter Miami having added several stars this offseason. Inter has 2 wins and a draw it their 1st 3 games. F Lionel Messi, who is playing with former Barcelona teammates F Luis Suarez, M Sergio Busquets and D Jordi Alba, has scored 3 goals on the season.

Nashville took down Moca to start its CONCACAF Champions Cup run, defeating its opponent a combined 7-0 in the 2 legs. Nashville is 0-2-0 on the MLS season, having drawn the New York Red Bulls 0-0 and the Colorado Rapids 1-1. F Teal Bunbury is the only player to have scored for Nashville.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Nashville SC 1, Inter Miami 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Nashville SC still has a solid roster with D Walker Zimmerman on the backline. While it hasn’t necessarily dominated opponents early in the season, it did have 0.9 more expected goals than the Rapids in its last outing. Nashville finished last season 9-4-4 at home, so despite having struggled, it has had home success over the last 14 months.

While Inter is a strong MLS side, they had 2.6 fewer expected goals in their lone road game this season. While they have been dominant at home, that same success may not translate to a hostile environment.

Given that lack of road success, sprinkle on DRAW (+270).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+110).

Teams take this tournament seriously, so there should be an expectation that Zimmerman gets a full 90 minutes. His presence should bode well for the home side defensively. Nashville has allowed 1 goal through 2 games, and its opponents have a combined 2.0 expected goals.

For Inter, they have allowed fewer than 1 expected goal in 2 of 3 games and has allowed just 1 goal through 3 games. It may also have a strong defense. In the combined 5 MLS games these teams have played, 4 would have gone Under this total.

That said, back UNDER 2.5 (+110).

Analyzing Wednesday’s Inter Miami vs. Nashville SC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (6 wins, 3 draws, 14 losses) welcomes Nashville SC (11-5-9) to DRV PNK Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. Nashville SC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Inter Miami is coming off their 1st MLS games with superstar F Lionel Messi. They beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 Saturday. They won the Leagues Cup on the road Aug. 19, beating Nashville SC in the final 1-1 (10-9 penalty kicks). Inter also went to Cincinnati and Philadelphia, both top-tier sides in the Eastern Conference, and won. F Josef Martinez has the most goals in MLS action for Inter with 6 in 20 matches.

Nashville was humiliated on the road Saturday, losing 4-0 at Atlanta United. Given its League Cup run, Nashville will be playing its 7th game of the month Wednesday. It is 3-3-7 on the road this season , having lost 6 of its last 7 MLS games. Nashville is led by F Hany Mukhtar, who has scored 13 goals in 25 games.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Inter Miami vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 1, Nashville SC 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+333).

Inter Miami has several new faces for what should be an interesting last stretch of the season. However, Miami will have to start resting many of these players as Messi and M Sergio Busquets logged heavy minutes during their Leagues Cup and U.S. Open Cup run.

Similarly, Nashville is still playing for a playoff spot and needs to right the ship. Prior to July, it was 3-3-4 on the road. This current 3-game skid has hurt its spot on the table, but with high-caliber players and a tournament play behind it, Nashville can start to find its form again.

For a small unit, find value in the DRAW (+333).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+125).

Nashville has one of the best defenses in the MLS with USMNT D Walker Zimmerman manning the backline. It sits 2nd in save rate. Nashville’s game with Miami in the Leagues Cup final finished 1-1. It has what it takes to slow down the dynamic Messi-led attack.

Nashville has scored in just 2 of its last 7 MLS games as well, having totaled just 3 goals in its last 7 matches. It has gone Under in this total in 5 of its last 7. I would expect Messi to again start on the bench, limiting his impact on the game after logging several 90-minute showings in the Leagus Cup.

Take UNDER 2.5 (+125).

Leagues Cup: Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Nashville vs. Inter Miami odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

In the Leagues Cup final, Nashville SC welcomes Inter Miami to Geodis Park in Nashville Saturday. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert soccer picks and predictions.

Nashville sits 4th in the Eastern Conference, having scored 31 goals and allowed 22 through 24 matches. In Leagues Cup action (a tournament featuring both MLS and Liga MX teams), it beat Colorado 2-1 and lost 4-3 to Toluca, still managing to advance to the knockout stage. It went on the road and beat East-leading FC Cincinnati 1-1 (5-4) in penalty kicks. It then beat Club America 2-2 (6-5) in penalty kicks. In the quarterfinal, Nashville obliterated Minnesota 5-0 and then took down Liga MX side Monterrey 2-0 to get to the final.

While Inter sits last in the East, the arrival of superstar F Lionel Messi has made Miami a must-watch team. It beat Cruz Azul 2-1 then Atlanta United 4-0 in the group stage. Miami beat Orlando City 3-1 in the Round of 32 and rallied from down 4-2 with 15 minutes left at FC Dallas to pull draw and win 5-3 in penalty kicks. Inter then beat Charlotte 4-0 and went on the road to Philadelphia and won 4-1 Tuesday.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Nashville SC vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 2, Nashville SC 2 (Inter wins 5-4 penalty kicks)

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Nashville has the offense to keep pace with Inter. F Hany Mukhtar leads the league with 13 goals. It also has the best defense in the East. It sits 2nd in save percentage and 3rd in dual percentage. D Walker Zimmerman had a masterclass performance against Monterrey as well.

For Inter, while it crushed Philadelphia, it had 4 goals and 4 shots on frame. It took care of the opportunities when they came, but the score wasn’t reflective of Miami’s chances. Expect Messi and company to continue dominating but at a lesser level.

Considering the value, put a small unit on DRAW (+270).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+120).

Miami has scored 3 or more goals in its last 5 matches. It had allowed a goal in 3 of its last 4 as well. It converted at a high rate against Philadelphia, which isn’t surprising and should replicate that success against Nashville. There’s no reason to believe Miami should be able to tally a few goals as it has consistently generated offense with Messi at the helm.

Nashville has gotten through the Leagues Cup with its offense – not defense. It has scored 15 goals through 6 games. Miami’s defense is not good and should be exploited enough for Nashville to get a couple on the board. Expect a high-scoring game and back the OVER 3.5 (+120).

FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

FC Cincinnati (14 wins, 2 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Nashville SC (11-7-5) to TQL Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati drew the New England Revolution at home 2-2 last weekend and beat the New York Red Bulls on the road 2-1 Wednesday. FCC will get F Brandon Vazquez and D Matt Miazga back from international duty and will also have All-Star captain M Lucho Acosta. It is 10-0-1 at home this season. FCC has drawn 3 of its last 6 matches.

Nashville has 1 more game played than Cincinnati and sits 3rd, 10 points behind the East-leading FCC. Nashville’s strength is defense, allowing just 19 goals, the lowest in the conference. It is 3-5-3 on the road this season. Nashville is coming off a 2-0 home loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. It is led by F Hany Mukhtar, who has 13 goals in 23 matches.

FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 1, Nashville SC 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-105).

FC Cincinnati has been unbeatable at home, which is why they are 8 points ahead of 2nd-place New England. FCC will be adding arguably 2 of its best 3 players back to the roster which should aid its play. FCC has won 8 of its last 12 games and all but 1 of its 11 home games (which was a draw).

Unlike FCC, Nashville has struggled to win of late. It has lost 3 straight road games and has lost 4 of its last 5 matches. It has been held scoreless in 4 matches as well, often relying on its defense to carry its success. Against a team that has both a capable attack and solid defense, Nashville may be in for trouble.

Take FC CINCINNATI (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-120).

Both FCC and Nashville rank in the bottom half of the league in shots against. FCC has allowed 87 and Nashville 88. Both teams also have elite goalkeeping with FCC sitting 5th in save rate and Nashville atop the league.

Nashville has not scored in 4 of its last 5 games and has allowed 2 or fewer goals in every game this season. It has allowed 1 or 0 in all but 3 games as well.

FCC has had 1.5 or fewer expected goals in 3 of its last 6 home games, and it is facing the best defense in the conference. Nashville’s defensive success and offensive woes should give way to the UNDER 2.5 (-120) being the better angle to bet this battle.

[anyclip pubname=”2129″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8190″]

Nashville SC (11 wins, 6 losses, 5 draws) welcomes the Philadelphia Union (10-7-4) to GEODIS Park Wednesday. Kickoff in the Eastern Conference clash is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Nashville SC vs. Philadelphia Union odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Nashville is 2nd in the Eastern Conference with 38 points but just 4 points separate it from Philadelphia, which is 6th. Nashville has been dominant because of its sound defense which is allowing just 0.77 goals per game and has given up multiple goals in a game just twice this season. However, it has the fewest goals scored amongst the top 8 teams in the East and is coming off a 1-0 road loss to the Chicago Fire on Saturday. Nashville is led on the attack by F Hany Mukhtar, who has 13 goals and 7 assists, both team highs.

Philadelphia is led by F Julian Carranza, who has 10 goals in 20 matches this season. Its defense hasn’t been quite as dominant as last season but is allowing a respectable 1.19 goals per game. Philadelphia has lost 2 straight contests and 3 of its last 5 and is coming off a 3-1 road loss to LA Galaxy on Sunday. The Union are just 3-6-2 on the road this season.

Nashville SC vs. Philadelphia Union picks and predictions

Prediction

Philadelphia Union 1, Nashville SC 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+240).

Philadelphia has struggled on the road as of late, posting just a 1-3-1 record over its last 5 games, but it has had more expected goals than its opponent in 3 of those 5 outings. The talent is there, holding over many players from a roster that topped the MLS last season.

Nashville has lost 3 of its last 4 games and it has allowed a goal in all but 1 match since May 6, which would mean it may need 2 markers on a relatively strong Philly defense to win Wednesday.

This should be a tough battle for both sides, and I would play the DRAW (+240) given the value here.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-112).

Both Philadelphia and Nashville rank in the top 8 in shots against with the Union sitting 2nd in MLS. Nashville ranks 1st in MLS in save percentage, so both sides limit opportunity or have consistently prevented goals from being scored.

Nashville has gone Under in 4 straight games and in 6 of 11 home matches this season. Philadelphia has multiple goals in just 1 of its last 4 road matches as well, so it likely won’t explode offensively on a top-tier defense.

Considering the style of both teams, take the UNDER 2.5 (-112).

Nashville is 6-1-2 at home this season, so it has been resilient at home. It is coming off a 1-1 road draw with Toronto FC. Nashville has not lost a game since April 15, a 9-game unbeaten streak. It has won 4 of its last 5 matches as well. It is led by F Hany Makhtar, who has 10 goals in 17 games.

St. Louis City SC has cooled off since its red-hot start, winning its first 5 games of the season. It is 3-1-1 over its last 5. It is coming off a 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy last Saturday.

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).

FC Dallas vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Dallas 1, Nashville SC 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+200).

FC Dallas has drawn 2 of its last 3 games and 3 of its last 6 games. It has been within 1 expected goal of its opponent in every home game this season, so it has consistently played to the level of its competition despite often coming out on top at home. It will be at home but taking on a superior Nashville side.

Nashville has drawn 2 of 6 road matches and 2 of its last 7 matches in general. It has been within 0.3 expected goals of its opponent in every away game.

Considering both teams have played to the level of their opponent in this situation, take the DRAW (+200).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-145).

Both teams sit outside the top 13 in shots on target, so neither side has been overly aggressive in getting opportunities. They both sit outside the top 13 in shooting percentage as well.

Couple that with Nashville SC’s mere 10 goals allowed, and the Under seems like the better play. Nashville has gone Under in 9 of 15 games this season as well.

FC Dallas is allowing just 1.07 goals per game. It has gone Under in 4 of its last 6 games and has been held to just 1 goal in 4 of its last 5. FC Dallas has allowed under 1 expected goal in 5 straight games.

Put it all together and take the UNDER 2.5 (-145).

MLS playoffs: LA Galaxy vs. Nashville SC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s LA Galaxy vs. Nashville SC odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

The LA Galaxy (14 wins, 12 losses, 8 draws) welcome Nashville SC (13-10-11) to Dignity Health Sports Park Saturday in a 1st-round playoff game. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the LA Galaxy vs. Nashville SC odds, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The LA Galaxy have had a very up-and-down type season. They were able to lose just 1 of their last 11 to rise in the rankings. They finished 4th in the Western Conference, while Nashville placed 5th.

Both teams used a late-season surge to get higher in the table. Saturday’s winner will play 1st-place LAFC, which received a bye.

The Galaxy are led by 34-year-old Mexican star F Javier Hernández, who has a team-high 18 goals on the season. LA went 1-0-1 against Nashville this season.

As for Nashville, which won 5 of its last 8, it was led by a remarkable 23 goals from F Hany Mukhtar.

Nashville finished with a +11 goal differential. The Galaxy closed the regular season with a +7 goal differential.

Prediction

Nashville SC 2, LA Galaxy 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN NASHVILLE SC (+280).

Nashville is the better team here. It had the better goal differential for a reason. With Mukhtar set to start up top, the Nashville attack should be more potent as well.

The Nashville defense is also captained by USMNT defender and All-Star D Walker Zimmerman. He’s a stud and should be able to help Nashville win Saturday. Nashville has also been surging, coming off a 1-0 win at LAFC.

The Galaxy, on the other hand, have remained relatively unbeaten, but haven’t had a clean sheet in 13 games. In playoff soccer, goals aren’t easy to come by, and they’ve allowed them as of late.

With the best player on the field and the best defender, I’ll back NASHVILLE SC (+280).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

Both teams have stars up top that should be primed to be involved in most of the action.

Along with his 23 goals, Mukhtar had 7 assists on the season. He should create a lethal attack, and as noted, the Galaxy defense hasn’t been great at shutting teams out.

Expect Nashville to get on the board at least once. Similarly, LA has only been shut out once in its last 13 battles.

With Hernandez healthy, it should be able to get a goal in this one. The Galaxy have been a fast-paced side, scoring 1.71 per game while allowing 1.5 per game. Those figures held justify backing a high-scoring battle.
