Top of the table Nashville travel to face New York Red Bulls in the MLS Eastern Conference. We're very much looking forward to this match, it should be an absolute cracker. Red Bulls are looking to further cement their place in the top 9 as they push for a Round One Series spot. They face a tough task, though, up against a Nashville side who are top of the Eastern Conference as well as the overall MLS standings.

Both sides have similar records heading into this one. Despite still remaining top of the table, Nashville's recent form has been somewhat underwhelming. They've lost three, won two and drawn one of their last six, although they did enjoy a superb 4-1 win over Inter Miami last time out. Red Bulls hold a similar record, losing three, winning two and drawing one of their last six too.  They have, though, only won one of their last four and head into this on the back of a defeat away to Atlanta. 

Games between the Red Bulls and Nashville don't tend to provide many goals. In only one of the last six meetings between the two has more than two goals been scored. Having said that, neither side has managed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six matches. Red Bulls have conceded an average of two goals per game at home, but the Boys in Gold's goalscoring form away isn't exactly mind-blowing. All in all, it's a difficult match to call, but for our prediction we're leaning towards an away win.

Our New York Red Bulls vs Nashville SC Prediction

While it is a difficult match to predict, there are a few reasons why we're leaning towards a Nashville victory. They've lost just twice in MLS all season and the victory over Inter Miami last time out would've certainly refuelled their confidence. If they can follow it up with a win at the Sports Illustrated Stadium, it could go a long way in cementing their Champions Cup qualification place. Certainly a game we're looking forward to, our prediction is a win for the Boys in Gold.

Our prediction for New York Red Bulls vs Nashville SC is: Nashville to win
