Nashville vs New York Red Bulls Prediction and Betting Tips

Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Nashville and New York Red Bulls square off at Geodis Park on Wednesday. Sandro Schwarz’s men head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their previous eight games against the hosts and will be looking to extend this dominant four-year streak.

Nashville turned in a resilient team display last weekend as they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC on home turf.

B.J. Callaghan’s men have now gone four straight games without defeat, claiming one draw and three wins, including a 1-0 victory over Chattanooga Red Wolves in their US Open Cup opener on May 8.

Nashville have picked up 20 points from their 12 MLS matches so far to sit fifth in the East but could move level with third-placed Philadelphia Union with a win on Wednesday.

On the other hand, New York Red Bulls secured their biggest win so far this season as they hammered LA Galaxy 7-0 at the Red Bull Arena last time out.

This followed a 4-1 victory over Switchbacks FC on May 7, a result which saw Schwarz’s men book their spot in the round of 16 of the US Open Cup.

With 18 points from their 12 MLS matches so far, New York Red Bulls sit seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, level on points with eighth-placed Orlando City.
