Nashville SC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction & Pick

One of the key reasons behind Nashville's recent woes is its inability to put the ball in the net. The Boys in Gold have scored only twice in their last four outings while getting completely shut out three times during that span. Having said that, Nashville has also won eight straight home matchups.

Philadelphia has come up short on both ends of the pitch lately, highlighted by its being outscored 5-1 on aggregate in back-to-back losses. Playing on the road hasn't been easy, too. The Union is winless in four consecutive away matches, having not won a road contest in nearly two months.

Although the overall results haven't been there recently, Nashville's home success can't be ignored. Back the Boys in Gold to win at home.

Final Score Prediction: Nashville: 2 | Philadelphia: 0

Nashville SC vs Philadelphia Union Best Bet

For this match's best bet, let's go with Nashville scoring the first goal (-145). During its eight-game winning streak at home, Nashville has scored the first goal every single time. With Philadelphia struggling to get much going on the road, don't be surprised if the Boys in Gold strike early again.
