Nashville v DC United

Nashville vs DC United Preview

After suffering back-to-back defeats away from home at Montreal and Columbus Crew, Nashville will be relieved to be returning to the more familiar surroundings of their GEODIS Park for this all-Eastern Conference clash with mid-table outfit, DC United, as the hosts look to return to winning ways.

Prior to these defeats, Nashville had put together an impressive 10-match unbeaten sequence which included picking up no fewer than seven wins during this period along with picking up points in three draws, and this solid run of results has helped lift Nashville up into third place in the Eastern Conference table.

Although they lost their last two games on the road, Nashville's form on home soil has been very steady so far in this MLS campaign, winning seven, drawing two and ,losing just once in their 10 home games to date at their GEODIS Park and having won their last five home games on the trot, Nashville look a tough prospect for visitors, DC United, here on Saturday evening.

DC United occupy ninth place on the Eastern Conference ladder as inconsistent results so far in this campaign have held them back in terms of pressing home claims for a top seven finish and a place in the Final Series.

Recent results certainly underline DC United's inconsistent streak this term as their last 10 matches overall have produced three wins, three draws and four defeats, and it should be noted that two of DC United's three wins were recorded on home turf at their Audi Field, while results away from home have been equally inconsistent with wins overall being sporadic at best.

Indeed, DC United have managed to capture just three wins out of their last 13 outings on the road with victories collected at Montreal, Orlando City and Inter Miami but seven defeats have overshadowed their minimal successes and this does not bode well for this upcoming road trip to face high-flying Nashville on Saturday evening.

In addition, DC United have also failed to score in six of these last 13 away games too, making this upcoming clash with Nashville a potentially difficult one for the visitors.

Nashville v DC United Verdict

Nashville have held the upper hand over DC United in previous meetings as the hosts have registered three wins out of the previous five encounters against their visitors and current form suggests this upcoming fixture at GEODIS Park is likely to go the way of Nashville as they look the more likely to find a way to take the spoils in this clash.

In addition, Nashville have won the last two home meetings on the trot against DC United.
