FC Cincinnati vs Nashville SC Predictions

• Cincinnati are Eastern Conference leaders this season with 14 wins from 22 matches
• Nashville have lost four of their last five matches in MLS
• Cincinnati are without a clean sheet in their last four games

Cincy can maintain push for Eastern Conference title

Cincinnati and Nashville have been among the pacesetters in the MLS Eastern Conference this season but the gap between the sides has been growing ahead of this weekend’s meeting at the TQL Stadium.

Although Cincinnati are top and Nashville are only two spots below them in third in their conference, there are ten points separating the side and Nashville have looked short of confidence recently.

They lost a fiercely contested match with Philadelphia Union 2-0 last time out, losing both Daniel Lovitz and Shaquell Moore to sending offs, and that was their fourth defeat in their last five games.

The goals seem to have dried up for ace forward Hany Mukhtar and Cincy are worth a bet to win this one.

The hosts have endured a bit of a mid-season dip but have lost just one of their last five games and are fresh from a key 2-1 win on the road to New York Red Bulls.

That was the fourth consecutive match in which Cincinnati had conceded and, although Nashville have struggled going forwards recently, they should be able to fire a consolation past the leaky hosts.

With that in mind, a correct score prediction of 2-1 to Cincinnati could be the way to play it.
