Two teams in contrasting Eastern Conference positions will clash in Major League Soccer on Saturday evening, when Nashville will host DC United at Geodis Park. The hosts have been in fine form of late, extending their winning run during the week with a fine win over the New York Red Bulls, coming out on top for the second MLS game in a row. B.J. Callaghan's men have won each of their last three in all competitions, while they're unbeaten in five overall, winning three of their last four Major League Soccer fixtures. Such form bodes well. 

As for the visitors, well, it's not been an amazing season, though they did steady themselves during the week, keeping a rare clean sheet, holding the NYCFC boys to a 0-0 tie in front of a home crowd. On the road, they've not been great, though they did recently beat the Red Bulls away from home, while they don't often go without scoring on the road, so the visitors will be looking to make their presence felt in Tennessee.

Our Nashville SC vs DC United Prediction

It's now been a couple of games without a goal for Christian Benteke, but you can't keep one of Major League Soccer's top marksmen down for long. The Belgian hasn't gone more than two games without scoring this season, while his hugely encouraging stats make odds of +175 look a little generous.

The hosts have been strong of late, but they don't keep many clean sheets, wihle Benteke, who was nursing a minor injury but should be passed fit to play, always carves out chances for himself.
