Sealing a top-four finish is at stake for the Revs when they travel to the Music City on Friday while the hosts will be looking forward to extending their two-game winning streak to three in this home fixture.

Nashville SC vs New England Revolution Prediction

Nashville have emerged as a dark horse in their debut MLS season and are in contention to qualify for the playoffs. Goalkeeper Joe Wills has kept eight clean sheets this season but they need to be more prolific in front of the goal, as they have a goal difference of just +1.

The Boys in the Gold will be eager to register their first win against the Revs in this Eastern Conference fixture on Friday but a draw appears to be the most likely outcome from the game, as both sides are missing their key attacking players.

Prediction: Nashville SC 1-1 New England Revolution
