Nashville SC
One of the MLS regular-season matches will take place on Sunday at the "Mercedes-Benz Stadium," where Atlanta United will host Nashville. Here's the prediction for this game from the Dailysports expert team.
Atlanta United
The "Five Stripes" are having a mixed season in MLS and currently sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings. Rob Valentino’s side has accumulated 31 points, trailing D.C. United by just one point for ninth position.
In 27 matches, Atlanta United has managed to secure eight wins, but they have also suffered 12 defeats. In their most recent MLS fixture, Atlanta earned a narrow 1-0 away win against Charlotte. This victory was their second in the last three rounds, alongside one loss. It's also worth mentioning that Atlanta is unbeaten in their last four home games.
Nashville
"NSC" are enduring a poor season and currently occupy the last place in the Eastern Conference standings. Their recent form has been disappointing, with the team’s last victory coming in mid-June, when they beat New York City FC at home.
Since then, Gary Smith’s team has been on a losing streak, both in MLS and the Leagues Cup. In their most recent outing, Nashville visited Orlando City and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat. Notably, this was their fourth consecutive MLS match without scoring a goal.
