Nashville SC vs Minnesota United Predictions and Betting Tips
Nashville SC and Minnesota United battle it out in the solitary MLS game we have for Wednesday. This highly anticipated encounter will feature at the Nissan Stadium, although behind close doors given government regulations. Nonetheless, we expect a good game with both teams vying for the three points.
This would be the first-ever matchup between these two American football sides. This is due to the fact that this 2020/21 campaign is the first-ever top-flight season for Nashville Soccer Club. This doesn't in any way take away the bite from this game taking into account what is going on in the Eastern and Western conference.
Resolute Nashville SC looking to break into the playoffs spot
Gary Smith's organized set-up has been the go-to tactic for newcomers. Judging by the number of games played, it has been a successful tactic with the Tennessee-based side conceding 14 goals in as many games- 5th best record in the Eastern Conference. However, they've been known to struggle in front of goal netting only 11 goals since the commencement of this season.
They're heading into this game off the back of two consecutive draws in the MLS. In the most recent one, they just went away with a point away at the New England Revolution in a game in which the home team absolutely dominated. Joe Willis was his team's top performer with five crucial saves to secure a point for his side.
The Loons finally get that much-needed win
After enduring a four-game winless run, the Minnesota United faithful were finally given some reason to cheer following their victory last time out. The early penalty Heath and his boys were awarded seemed to calm them down to get all three points- Kamara slotting in the penalty. They rounded up the scoring in the second half via Molino. Now it is left to see whether they will carry over that same momentum as they travel to Nashville.

Nashville SC vs Minnesota United Prediction: 0-2
Minnesota United are heading into this game only five points off the summit of the Western Conference. They go up against a resolute Nashville side who hardly score, neither do they concede goals, and have only lost once in eight league games. However, we favour the more attack-oriented Minnesota United for this one having scored more than twice as many goals as their opponents.
