On Sunday evening, Major League Soccer action returns to Yankee Stadium for the first time since July, with NYCFC taking on Nashville SC in front of a home crowd. Following a mixed bag of results in the Leagues Cup, the hosts will be hoping to regain some consistency in the league, and generally speaking, they've been quite consistent at home this season, winning four of their last five home fixtures. 

Sunday's visitors will also be looking to improve following some poor recent results. The men in yellow weren't involved in the Leagues Cup, meaning that they've had more time to rest and prepare than many MLS teams in recent weeks, though that didn't help them last time out as they lost to St. Louis, conceding three goals in the process. Can they deliver a better effort in New York?

Our New York City vs Nashville SC Prediction

Both teams are looking to bounce back here, while both teams know that they can't really rely on any serious defensive solidity, so we should probably expect the pair to have a good go at each other here. After all, we're talking about teams that have conceded plenty of late, which means that both ought to expect themselves to thrive offensively, promoting and open and chance-filled game. Throw into the mix that the pair shared four goals as recently as late May and a relatively high-scoring game looks to be a little generously priced. Our NYCFC vs Nashville Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.

Prediction:
