DC United vs Nashville SC Prediction & Betting Tips (14 July)

In great difficulty this season, DC United is in 15th and last place in the Eastern Conference. Despite the poor results, the men from the capital can still hope to return to the qualifying places for the playoffs. In fact, they are only 4 points behind 9th. The current dynamic, however, does not encourage optimism since the Washington-based franchise has not won any of its last 11 championship matches, 3 draws and 8 defeats. After taking a point from the New York Red Bulls 2-2, DC United lost against Cincinnati 2-3 and Orlando 5-0.

Installed in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Nashville is currently 8th in the Eastern Conference but does not only 2 lengths ahead of 10th place. We will therefore have to work hard to reach the playoffs. After a string of good results, Rumba Munthali's men let precious points slip away during the last 3 days. They lost to Inter Miami 1-2, Columbus 2-0 and Portland last weekend 4-1.

On the DC United side, the important midfielder Hopkins, the usual starters Antley, Birnbaum (defenders) and Fletcher (striker, 1 goal in MLS) are missing, as well as the unused midfielder Canouse, all in the infirmary. Furthermore, defense captain Bartlett is suspended. The experienced Belgian striker Benteke has been shining since crossing the Atlantic. He is the 2nd top scorer in the championship with 14 goals.

For Nashville, we must highlight the packages of senior midfielder Godoy as well as the less important MacNaughton, Gaines (defenders) and Leal (midfielder). In addition, important winger Shaffelburg (Canada) is still involved in the Copa America while starting midfielder Anunga is suspended. Decisive on the last day, winger Sam Surridge is Nashville's top scorer in MLS with 8 goals.
