Nashville SC form and stats
As mentioned below, Nashville SC are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Major League Soccer games.
The club members are hoping that Nashville will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against New England (after extra-time) (placed 2nd). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated in three league fixtures. Midfielder McCarty was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.42 (out of ten) in that game. McCarty hit one key pass and had 59 successful passes (of 66 total).
Before that, Nashville SC had a home game versus Montreal Impact (after extra-time) which ended with a victory 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nashville SC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 13 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
