Nashville v St Louis City

Nashville vs St Louis City Preview

Second-placed Eastern Conference outfit, Nashville, will play host to top of the Western Conference, St Louis City, in one of the most attractive fixtures on the MLS slate this Saturday night when the two teams face off at GEODIS Park with Nashville looking to extend their solid unbeaten run to 10 matches overall.

Six wins within these past nine matches have lifted Nashville into second place in the Eastern Conference table and having registered four of these six wins on home soil at their GEODIS Park, Nashville look to be in good shape to add to their points tally with all three points here on Saturday night.

Home wins against Atlanta United, Chicago Fire, Inter Miami and Columbus Crew will give Nashville plenty of reasons to be in confident mood at GEODIS Park on Saturday, especially as they have lost just twice in their last 14 home games in the MLS, along with winning their last four matches on the trot.

St Louis city have also enjoyed their first ever season in the MLS as the new franchise club sit top of the Western Conference by a one-point margin ahead of second-placed Seattle Sounders but the visitors have managed to pick up just one point from their last two matches.

A 2-0 defeat away from home at Dallas was followed by a disappointing 1-1 draw at home with second from bottom outfit, LA Galaxy, and although St Louis City had previously posted three wins on the trot by way of victories over Sporting Kansas, Vancouver Whitecaps and Houston Dynamo, the bigger picture actually doesn't paint an entirely convincing set of results.

St Louis had started this new MLS campaign in explosive fashion as they racked up five wins on the trot to announce themselves onto the MLS stage in style, picking up wins against Austin, Charlotte, Portland Timbers, San Jose Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake respectively, but since then, subsequent results have found St Louis in inconsistent form.

The visitors have collected just four further wins from their subsequent 11 matches overall and these have been outweighed by five defeats, three of which have been handed to them on their travels with losses incurred at Seattle Sounders 3-0, Chicago Fire 1-0 and a 2-0 loss at Dallas.

Nashville v St Louis City Verdict

Nashville have been in impressive form at home for some time now and the hosts have scored two goals or more in nine of their last 14 matches overall at GEODIS Park (64.3%), thus making the hosts a potentially dangerous customer for the visitors, St Louis City.

Following three straight wins on the trot on the road at the start of this season, St Louis have lost three of their subsequent four matches on their travels which does not bode well for this upcoming trip.

Therefore, our main bet will be Nashville win @ 1.65

Other side bets worth considering:

Nashville win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.33

Correct score: Nashville 2-0 @ 8.50
