Our prediction for this MLS match:
Saturday’s football game at Geodis Park pits together Nashville and New York Red Bulls, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in the playoffs. Nashville have already booked their spot in the playoffs, while the Metros are fighting tooth and nail to secure a top-nine finish. Canada forward Jacob Sheffelburg is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last MLS game, with Alex Muyl being ready to step up. Defender Nick DePuy remains on the sidelines with an Achilles tendon problem.
New York Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Cincinnati and Toronto and seeing that Nashville have little to play for in Saturday’s clash, away win should be considered. Keep in mind, though, that all Dante Vanzeir, Lewis Morgan, and Serge Ngoma are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
