Our prediction for this MLS match:
After sharing the spoils with Colorado Rapids at the weekend, Nasvhille will look to return to winning ways in MLS when they welcome Los Angeles Galaxy to their Geodis Park. Nashville have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against LA Galaxy. All Sam Surridge, Hany Mukhtar, and Randall Leal are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over San Jose Earthquakes, and given their formidable attacking prowess, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Dejan Joveljic and Co. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Los Angeles Galaxy defeated Nashville 1-0, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. As for the away team, defender Jalen Neal remains on the sidelines with an abdominal problem.
