• Competition: MLS
• Date: Saturday, 31st May, 2025
• Kickoff: 21:30 UK / 22:30 CEST
• Venue: Geodis Park (Nashville, TN)

Nashville SC came into this season after a terrible one last year, finishing 13th in the Eastern Conference with an average of just over one point per game. This year, "Coyotes" are doing a much better job, and as the season progresses, they are only looking better. Currently, they are on a nine-game unbeaten run and sit in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference with 28 points in 16 games. That is around 0.7 points per game more than last season.

New York City are one of the teams that regularly secures the MLS Playoffs. This year, while they are not on an expected level, they are expected to reach the Playoffs 1/8 Finals, or at least 1/16. Right now, they are in eighth place with 24 points from 16 matches - on a level with points with seventh-placed New York Rangers and a spot in the 1/8 Finals. The main reason why they are low on the league table is their poor road record. To climb the table, they need to start winning points away from home.

Nashville SC vs New York City pick: Nashville SC to win

Nashville SC are on an excellent nine-game unbeaten run, with a 67% win rate. Also, at home, the Coyotes have been incredible, winning six of their nine matches, and are currently the best home team in the league.

On the other hand, New York City have been inconsistent, and it is very hard to predict when we will see from them. Most of their poor performances happened away from home, where they average around 1.15 points per game less than at home.

In the previous three h2h games at Geodis Park, Nashville SC won all three times with a combined goal difference of 6:1. Considering the previous h2h games at Geodis Park, the difference in form, and all the above, we believe that the hosts are much closer to winning the upcoming match.
