The final Major League Soccer fixture to kick off this weekend will take place at Geodis Park, where two teams that experienced contrasting midweek fortunes will go up against each other. The hosts picked up their first win in a while on Wednesday evening, meaning that B.J. Callaghan's men ought to come into this clash with renewed confidence. They certainly know how to score goals at home, where they've been the second-highest scorers in the Eastern Conference this season, and this will also help them to fancy their chances.
The visitors, in contrast, may not be feeling great. Marc Dos Santos' men lost on Wednesday, coming unstuck for the third game in quick succession. They too can offer plenty going forward, but they've definitely dropped off at the back, which doesn't bode well given Nashville's scoring prowess. In the betting, 'Over 2.5 Goals' looks nicely priced at odds of -125.

Our Nashville SC vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
There's been a clear drop in defensive quality from the LAFC boys in recent weeks, and although they may want to tighten up, they can't really afford to go into their shell following three straight defeats. With the visitors expected to get on the front foot and attack against a Nashville side that has been rather open, a high-scoring game looks a little more likely than the early odds suggest.
After all, the hosts clearly specialize in goal-filled encounters at Geodis Park, where three or more goals have been scored in five out of five (MLS) this season.
Our Nashville SC vs LAFC Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
