DC United – Nashville SC : Preview & Prediction
DC United are second to last in the Eastern Conference, while Nashville is doing brilliantly in the Western Conference. The sixth place in the standings, in fact, perhaps goes well beyond the expectations of the eve of the game, also considering the fact that behind them there are teams that are decidedly better (at least on paper). This match, however, could be a sort of crossroads in the season for the two teams: the hosts are looking for a spark to turn things around after a problematic first half, but the guests must react after the unexpected defeat suffered in the last league outing, which has somewhat tarnished the excellent recent trend…
Yes, because the home defeat against Kansas City in the last round (1-2 the final result) interrupted a series of four consecutive useful results.
Nashville, in fact, had come back from two wins and two draws in the previous four (one home win and one away win).
Decidedly less positive is the recent trend of DC United, who come into this match on a five-match winless streak.
But there is more, as the hosts have suffered three defeats in their last five league games.
Considering the last seven, DC United have won only one match, but have also lost four (two draws complete the score).
It is true that Nashville lost the last match played, but it is also true that the positions of the two teams in the standings are quite telling. DC United has the home factor on its side, but beyond the last defeat, the guests have more reassuring recent statistics on the whole: we bet on double chance X2.
