Our prediction for this MLS match:

Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Nashville
New York Red Bulls will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Orlando City when they take on Nashville in yet another home fixture. The Metros continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive triumph at their Red Bull Arena. Midfielder Cristian Casseres is on international duty with Venezuela, and we predict that he will be sorely missed in Saturday’s game.
Nashville, on the other hand, are undefeated in the 2021 MLS campaign. Attacker Jhonder Cadiz represents Venezuela at Copa America, and, in his absence, Germany international Hany Mukhtar will pose a big threat to the opposition defenders. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards at Red Bull Arena, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw.
