Nashville SC will look to retain top spot in the Eastern Conference when they host New York City in an exciting MLS showdown. As Nashville are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict a 3-1 win. The home side have been one of the league’s most consistent teams lately, winning six of their last 10 matches while averaging 2.25 goals scored per game at home. Nashville fixtures at GEODIS Park have also been entertaining, averaging 4.00 total goals per match. A player to watch for the hosts will be Hany Mukhtar, who arrives in outstanding form after scoring a hat-trick in Nashville’s thrilling 3-2 win over Los Angeles FC.
New York City travel to Tennessee aiming to bounce back from a 1-1 draw with New York Red Bulls in the local derby. The visitors have been inconsistent recently but remain dangerous going forward, averaging 1.80 goals per game overall. However, experienced midfielder Maxi Moralez is doubtful, which could affect NYCFC’s creativity in the final third.
Considering Nashville's strong recent form and home advantage, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Nashville Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Nashville home matches average 4.00 total goals recently).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 24 May 2026 at 00:30.
