Red Bull New York vs Nashville SC Preview and Team News
Red Bull New York Team News
Red Bull New York are ranked eighth in the MLS’ Eastern Conference table. Their recent form has been shaky: just two wins in five matches.
Most recently, they were thrashed 1-2 by Atlanta United. Despite the side’s poor showing, left winger Julian Hall acquitted himself by completing the most dribbles (4). His passing accuracy of 88% was also widely applauded. Centre-forward Mijahir Jimenez, despite not finding the back of the net, had the joint-most touches (6) in the opposition box.
Despite that, the Red Bulls took just three shots on target, and while tussling for the ball, won just 44% of all the ground duels they entered into. Red Bull will have to try and win second balls against Nashville SC if they want to stand their ground.
Rafael Mosquera and AJ Marcucci have been sidelined with injuries for the home team.
Red Bull New York predicted lineup vs Nashville SC (4-3-3): Horvath; Dos Santos, Bazan, Che, Nealis; Forsberg, Mehmeti, Donkor; Hall, Jimenez, Cowell.
Nashville SC Team News
Nashville SC have been the best team in their division. Despite their modest form of two wins in three matches, the Boys in Gold have dictated terms to their opponents throughout this campaign.
This was visible in their recent, resounding 4-1 victory over second-placed Inter Miami. Hany Mukhtar roared back into form with a brace, to go with a highly impressive xG of 1.36. The German also created two chances for his club.
Fellow attacker Sam Surridge also scored a goal and ended with a passing accuracy of 80%. Left midfielder Elias Saad, meanwhile, created the most chances (5) and was amply rewarded with two assists. Saad also had the most touches (11) in the opposition box. Nashville, as a result, are also the leaders of the MLS’ Eastern Conference.
Warren Madrigal and Patrick Yazbek continue to be sidelined for the visitors.
Nashville SC predicted lineup vs Red Bull New York (4-4-2): Schwake; Baker-Whiting, Woledzi, Palacios, Najar; Saad, Corcoran, Tagseth, Espinoza; Surridge, Mukhtar.
Red Bull New York vs Nashville SC Prediction
- Pick: Nashville SC to win or draw
- Odds: -227 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Red Bull New York 1-3 Nashville SC
Nashville are expected to win or draw. There is a massive gulf of seven spots between these clubs in the league table. The Boys in Gold lead the rankings, and are also tipped to win the competition.
Nashville have won or drawn five out of the last eight meetings between these teams. What works in Nashville’s favour is the fact that they have been beaten just twice in nine outings away from home in this campaign.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, have won only four games out of nine at home.
Red Bull New York vs Nashville SC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Nashville total – over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -122 (20Bet)
Nashville are expected to score over 1.5 goals (at least two). The fact that Mukhtar is back in form augurs well for the visitors. The German is currently the joint-leading goal contributor for Nashville with 12 (eight goals and four assists).
Surridge, meanwhile, leads the goalscoring charts with 12 strikes of his own. Cristian Espinoza, too, has been involved in 10 goals for Nashville this season. The presence of all these in-form and attack-minded players backs our prediction.
