DC United vs Nashville SC Preview and Team News

DC United Team News

DC United currently sit ninth in the Eastern Conference standings. Their recent form has left a lot to be desired, with just one victory, three draws, and one loss in the last five outings.

However, they head into this match on the back of an encouraging 2-1 victory over Toronto FC. Striker Tai Baribo, who scored a goal and produced an xG of 0.81, was the standout performer in that game.

Right midfielder Jackson Hopkins, meanwhile, posted a 100% shooting accuracy before being substituted in the 65th minute as a precaution. Goalkeeper Sean Johnson also played a crucial role, as he made six vital saves for the Black-and-Red.

Gabriel Segal, who picked up a knock recently, will not be available for selection.

DC United predicted lineup vs Nashville SC (4-4-2): Johnson; Kurokawa, Rowles, Bartlett, Hefti; Peglow, Dozzell, Servania, Hopkins; Baribo, Ordaz.

Nashville SC Team News

Having won four of their last five matches, Nashville SC remain atop both the Eastern Conference and the Supporters’ Shield standings. They’ve come out on top in 12 of their 17 league games this season, with just two defeats.

One of those losses came in a narrow 0-1 setback against Orlando City. Nashville held 52% possession but lacked precision in the attacking half. They registered just seven shots, including two on target.

The Boys in Gold also produced just two big chances and lost 53% of their ground duels. Winning second balls against DC United will be vital if they’re to dictate terms in midfield.

The team continue to deal with a lengthy injury list. Christopher Applewhite, Reed Baker-Whiting, Warren Madrigal, Cristian Espinoza, and Patrick Yazbek all remain sidelined.

Nashville SC predicted lineup vs DC United (4-2-2-2): Schwake; Bauer, Woledzi, Maher, Najar; Corcoran, Acosta; Muyl, Mohammed; Surridge, Mukhtar.

DC United vs Nashville SC Prediction

  • Pick: Nashville SC to win or draw
  • Odds: -233 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: DC United 1-2 Nashville SC

Nashville SC should bounce back from their loss to Orlando City. At worst, they should come away with a draw. That defeat appears to be little more than a minor setback for one of the league’s most consistent teams.

Their away record has been impressive this season, as they’ve remained unbeaten in six of their eight outings. DC, meanwhile, have struggled at home. They have won just three of their eight home games.

The head-to-head record also favors Nashville, who have avoided defeat in four of their last five away meetings with DC.

DC United vs Nashville SC Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both teams to score
  • Odds: -159 (20Bet)

Both teams should score. The visitors’ attack is led by Hany Mukhtar, one of MLS’ most productive playmakers with 10 goal contributions. Sam Surridge, who has scored 10 goals, provides another dangerous option inside the box.

For the hosts, Baribo has also scored 10 goals and remains their primary attacking threat. Given his current form, DC should breach the Nashville defense at least once.

BTTS has landed in three of the last four meetings between these clubs at this venue.
