Things continue to be exciting in the MLS as both conferences have tight battles at the top. The Eastern Conference’s 2nd placed Cincinnati continues to chase the leaders, Inter Miami, at an asphyxiating pace. They have one point less but also one match in hand. Surpassing Messi’s team would put them in front of their conference and at the top of the charts for the Supporters Shield, a massive achievement for the young franchise.
However, before thinking about that, Cincinnati must face a new challenge in a poor Nashville team that has struggled at the bottom of the table.

Why Bet on FC Cincinnati?
The locals are running on an exciting run with ten wins, three draws, and two losses. They have seven wins in a row and one of the best defenses in the conference with 14 goals against. That is what makes the difference in their battle with the Florida team, as they are nothing close to their offensive production.
However, their solid backline showed many gaps in their thrilling win over Toronto in the last match. They managed to take in the win at the last second and took the upper hand in an all-time MLS classic, but still, conceding as many goals in one match will not help them in their task.Â
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Luca Orellano, who scored a brace against Toronto, while all Yuya Kubo, Corey Baird, Alvas Powell, and Aaron Boupendza remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Why Bet on Nashville SC?
The visitors have three wins, seven draws, and four losses in their campaign, and they need victories to climb to the playoff spots. Luckily for them, this season has been pretty tight for most of the MLS, so even with their poor numbers, they are just two points away from a Play-In position.
The Music has yet to taste success on the road and recently sacked their manager, which leaves them in limbo as nobody is sure what to expect for the rest of the campaign.
Nashville made a slow start to the season, and given their difficulties on the road, we are not expecting them to do that well this time.
Both Randall Leal and Lukas MacNaughton are out of contention with injuries, but they don’t have suspended players.
Final Betting Analysis:Â FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC
Nashville has been in awful form on the road this season, picking up just two points and two goals from its five away games. However, thanks to their decent home form, their hopes for the postseason are alive.
However, they face a massive obstacle to reach their goal. These teams have faced 11 times, with two victories for each and seven draws. Notably, the Orange and Blue wins came in their last two clashes.
In history, this duel tends to be tight, but we believe Cincinnati will easily impose with a 2-0.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.76. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $76 for a total payout of $176.
