Nashville moved up into 3rd place in the Eastern Conference ladder and within five points of the Conference leaders Philadelphia Union thanks to a point gained on the road by way of a 2-2 draw at Columbus Crew.
That stalemate also served to extend Nashville’s unbeaten run in the MLS to seven games overall which includes picking up important wins against Chicago Fire, Charlotte, New York RB and Toronto respectively, while the bigger picture shows the hosts have slipped to just three defeats within their last 14 games.
Eight wins within these previous 14 games overall suggests Nashville stand a decent chance of returning to winning ways at their GEODIS Park when they welcome New York City, especially as Brian Callaghan’s side possess a very steady looking home record which stands at 6-2-1 19/7.
New York City currently sit just outside of the top seven pack in the Eastern Conference following a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Houston Dynamo in midweek which in turn halted a two-game winning streak for the side from the Big Apple.
New York City had previously posted back-to-back wins against city rivals New York RB and Chicago Fire but it should be noted that both victories were registered on home turf at the Yankee Stadium, while results on the road have been far less convincing.
Indeed, Pascal Jansen’s side have managed to capture just the single win on their travels so far in this season’s MLS campaign which came in the form of a narrow 1-0 win at Toronto but also includes three defeats within an away record that stands at a disappointing 1-3-3 6/9.
The bigger picture shows New York City have collected just three away wins from their last 19 outings on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Nashville have won each of the last three meetings at home against New York City.
The Pick :
Nashville 2-1 New York City
