New York City will be looking to get back on course when they face an in-form Nashville side aiming to make it five victories in a row. The Blue Pigeons are winless in their last five matches and remain in the playoff picture, but their lengthy injury list is a major concern, with Baiera, Farnos, Martinez, Moralez, Parks, Talles Magno and Wolf among those sidelined. NYCFC have scored in every one of their last 10 matches, while their home games average 3.20 goals.
Nashville are flying after a convincing 4-0 victory over Cincinnati and could move to the top of the Eastern Conference with another three points. B.J. Callaghan's men have won 60% of their last 10 overall, scoring an impressive 2.00 goals per game, although their away win rate is only 25%. Warren Madrigal is suspended for the visitors. The H2H record also promises entertainment, with six of nine meetings producing over 2.5 goals and BTTS landing in six.
As Nashville are in far better form than New York City, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Nashville Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (this landed in 67% of their H2Hs).
This MLS match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 00:30.
