Nashville SC vs Dallas Prediction
Nashville's recent poor run of form has threatened to derail their quest to qualify for the playoffs and they need to snap their six-game winless run to remain in contention. However, they remain within touching distance of the top seven.
A major cause for concern is their poor form in front of their fans, with the Tennessee outfit posting their worst home form in the Western Conference.
This will give FC Dallas extra confidence to go all out for victory, but their cautious style of play means chances could come at a premium in the game. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow victory in a cagey game.
