Nashville SC will look to cement their top spot in the Eastern Conference when they host FC Cincinnati on Saturday night at Geodis Park. Nashville will come into this game as the heavy favorites to win and extend their three-game winning run, including a 4-1 win over Inter Miami. In their last assignment, they dug deep to score two stoppage-time goals and defeat Columbus 3-2 at home. That’s the kind of mentality that they’ll need to become champions this year.
FC Cincinnati, meanwhile, will be looking to get only their second win in the last five matches. They’re coming off a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Seattle Sounders after conceding a late goal to share the spoils. They’ll only have themselves to blame for not getting the maximum points after seeing 71% of the ball and making 665 passes. The visitors will have to be more adventurous and efficient to defeat Nashville this weekend.

Our Nashville SC vs FC Cincinnati Prediction
Nashville SC will come into this contest as the -134 betting favorites. We’re backing the hosts to win because they’ve been in excellent form for this season, having won 15 times and losing only twice. Nashville also has the best defensive record in the conference (17 goals allowed), which may be handy when playing at home. However, we don’t expect Cincinnati to lose without scoring a goal or two. The visitors have the joint-best attacking record in the league of 49 goals. But the fact that they’ve given up 49 goals puts them in a delicate situation at Geodis Park. Expect both teams to score.
Our prediction for Nashville SC vs FC Cincinnati: Nashville SC to win.
