New England form and stats
6-0-1 is the performance here at Gillette Stadium so far in the Major League Soccer, giving New England a total of 18 from their 7 games here. Outstanding results! The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena.
A good away victory last time out for England, who won 3-2 against New York RB (placed 9th). Midfield player Carles Gil got a match rating of 8.3 in that game, the max score being 10. Gil served one assist, hit four key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 4 times. A late climax in the match against New York RB as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by Adam Buksa.
Ahead of that match, England won a home game hosting Montreal Impact (2-1).The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier New England matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from two games).
The match schedule is unforgiving for New England as they have a new game in only four days, a Major League Soccer match thankfully also at home. Philadelphia Union are visiting.
England can score goals in their home matches. After 7 league matches they have found the net 14 times. New England's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Nashville SC form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (15) in Major League Soccer, on their Major League Soccer travels is 0 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. Two points from the last two away games for Nashville, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Nashville are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Toronto (placed 11th). Robert Castellanos, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.94. Castellanos scored one goal and won 4 of 5 duels.
That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Cincinnati.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Nashville when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nashville manager B. Jacobs as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Inter Miami.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nashville as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Nashville have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
