Prediction: 2-1
Nashville
Orlando City play host Nashville at their Exploria Stadium in the MLS Cup last 16, first leg. The Lions are eyeing their fifth consecutive MLS win and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Monday’s encounter. Midfielder Favian Loyola remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Nashville, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to New York Red Bulls in their last game of the regular season and given Orlando City’s splendid form, home win should be considered. The good news for the visiting team is that midfielder Dax McCarty is back from suspension, while defender Nick DePuy continues to miss out with an Achilles tendon problem. In their last meeting in the Major League Soccer Orlando City defeated Nashville 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
