New York Red Bulls vs Nashville SC Prediction & Betting Tips (16 June)

The New York State franchise is showing its advantage this season with a valiant 4th place in the Eastern Hemisphere, six points behind Léo Messi's Inter Miami, the great leader. The NY Red Bulls have won four of their last six games in the big league, including scores against franchises like New England Revolution 4-2, on the lawn of DC United 1-4 or against Charlotte at home 3 -1 and narrowly in the process against Orlando City 1-0. 2 defeats are still to be noted, against neighbor New York City FC 2-1 and during their last match against the New England Revolution who therefore took their revenge 1-0.2 times conference semi-finalist in their history since its entry into MLS in 2020, Nashville is constantly evolving and has always at least qualified for the playoffs. Except that, for the moment, The Six-Strings should be content with a play-off match to reach the postseason in the current state of things following their 9th place.

With 5 lengths behind the 7th, Columbus Crew, it is clear that there is no more time to lose to start a run. The Tennessee franchise also remained on a good series of four games without defeat including two victories full of panache against the Toronto Canadians 2-0 and on the pitch of FC Cincinnati 0-2 and two draws against CF Montreal 0- 0 and Atlanta United at home 1-1. This series ended in its last match to date with a loss against the New England Revolution, at home in addition to that 1-2.

There are defections to deplore at NY which sees boys like the young Mitchell (21 years old) occupying the infirmary (8 goals in 5 matches all the same with the reserves) just like Ngoma (absent from the match sheets since April) or the midfielder Stroud (8 appearances in MLS this season) and the replacement defender Andres Reyes (12 caps in MLS this season all the same). Now, let's talk about the absences due to the selections including the Paraguayan goalkeeper Coronel, the Swedes Eile (U21) and Emil Forsberg (international with the A, 6 pawns, 5 cakes in MLS this season), the impactful midfielder Lewis Morgan (Scotland, 9 goals, 4 assists in MLS this season) and the young talent Tolkin (American U21 international). The two detrimental absences are obviously those of Forsberg and Lewis Morgan who between them have scored 15 goals and offered 9 assists.

At Nashville, only two players should be missing, in this case Leal (midfielder, important) who remains injured just like the starting center Macnaughton. The residents of Geodis Park will be able to count on the English striker Sam Surridge (5 goals), the German midfielder Mukhtar (4 goals, 7 assists) or the Canadian Bunbury (3 goals in MLS).
