New York Red Bulls v Nashville

New York RB vs Nashville Preview

New York RB were dealt a disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home at New England Revolution in last week's MLS action but the hosts now return to the more familiar surroundings of their Red Bull Arena against Nashville with the Red Bulls looking to return to winning ways, while Nashville also succumbed to a loss against New England Revolution 2-1 at home last time out in the MLS.

New York RB had previously posted back-to-back wins in the MLS against the likes of Charlotte and Orlando City respectively and indeed, the hosts have picked up four wins out of their last six games overall which includes earlier wins against New England Revolution and DC United as well.

The bigger picture shows Sandro Schwarz's side have been handed just three defeats out of their last 13 matches overall in the MLS and it is worth noting that all of these three losses were incurred on their travels whilst the hosts have also collected six wins within this period as well.

Four of these six wins have been registered on home turf at their Red Bull Arena by way of victories over Inter Miami, New England Revolution, Charlotte and Orlando City so the hosts will be upbeat about their chances of picking up all three points in this upcoming clash.

Nashville's attempts of breaking into the tops even pack in the Eastern Conference were once again thwarted last time out in the MLS when they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to New England Revolution which now makes it just three wins from their last 12 games overall.

The bigger picture paints an even worse outlook for Nashville as the visitors have managed to pick up just four victories out of their last 19 games overall, with three of these four wins being achieved on home turf at their GEODIS Park as they have recorded victories over the likes of Charlotte, Montreal and Toronto respectively.

However, Nashville have also stumbled to eight defeats within this 19-game sequence so the prospects of Gary Smith's side picking up all three points at the Red Bull Arena look highly unlikely, especially as the visitors have captured just two wins from their last 17 outings on the road.

In addition, Nashville have slipped to nine defeats within their previous 17 away games which also does not bode well for this upcoming encounter against New York RB either.

New York RB v Nashville Verdict

New York RB have never been beaten by Nashville in each of their previous six meetings and as the hosts have also picked up three wins in their previous exchanges against Nashville, it's the hosts that get the nod in this one.
