The MLS keeps going at full speed, and now that the Leagues Cup is approaching, the organization is putting its feet on the accelerator to get as many games as possible before the stop. In the case of the American top league, we can say that we are in the late season when most of the teams have 25 games played or more, so the time is coming fast.
In both conferences, the fight is strong at the top. FC Cincinnati and St. Louis City are the leaders at the moment, but the first is having troubles as of recently while the second is in a good streak. Now, talking about the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia Union will visit one of the strongest teams in this MLS edition to challenge them for their position in the table.
Nashville and Philadelphia will face a game that will be the twenty-third match for the first and the twenty-second for the latter.
When?
Wednesday, July 12th – 8:30 pm ET at the Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee
Betting Odds:
Nashville Sc +116
Philadelphia Union +240
Draw odds:
+240
Where can I watch it?
Why bet on Nashville Sc?
The Team from Tennessee comes to this match as one of the best teams in the overall MLS rankings with 38 points, which come from 11 wins, 6 draws, and 5 defeats in 22 games. They can also boast about having the current goalscorer leader in the standings, with Harry Mukhtar accumulating 13 goals at the moment.
However, they are currently in a moment of instability that has cost them to not be able of cutting distances with the equally irregular (at the moment) Cincinnati. They come with 2 victories and 3 losses in the last five games and are just one point over the New England Revolution. A loss in this game could make them fall up to three positions in the table.
Why bet on Philadelphia Union?
Philadelphia Union is having an average season after their heartbreak at the last postseason final. After coming so close to touching their first MLS Trophy, they fell to LAFC. And the most painful thing is that the Californians are a much younger team. However, their form didn’t fall off a cliff, as they are fairly well positioned at this stage and, more than probably, will go to the postseason again.
They come with 34 points from 10 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses in 22 games. A victory in this game would be crucial, as not only would mean getting closer to the second position (with one game less than Nashville), but it would also be an immense hit on the table. However, to do that they must shake off the bad moment, as they come with only one win in the last five games, against a weak franchise like Inter Miami. They have fallen against all the competent teams they have faced in the last month.
Final Betting Analysis: Nashville Sc vs. Philadelphia Union
We will have an excellent game for the top spots of the Eastern Conference this Wednesday. However, both teams come in difficult moments and have to take this chance to straighten their paths. The Team from Nashville is fairly better but just by a little, as they have achieved 6 points in the last five games, with the visitors getting 4 in the same amount of matches.
Going for the local would be the easy way but is hard to see the current version of the Union winning at Tennessee. However, the MLS is the league of surprises, so we believe a draw is the most plausible result, go for a 1-1.
Go for a draw at +240. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $240 for a total payout of $340.
