Nashville vs Charlotte Prediction
The hosts have endured a poor run of form recently in the MLS, with just one win in their last eight games. They enjoyed a good run in the 2023 Leagues Cup, finishing as the runners-up but have failed to score in the two MLS games since. Eight of their 11 wins in the MLS this season have come at home, so they'll look to produce a strong display.
The Crown have suffered just one defeat in their last six games in all competitions. Just three of their seven wins in the MLS have come in their travels, though six of the nine defeats have come in away games as well.
Considering the recent struggles of the two teams, we expect them to play out a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Nashville 1-1 Charlotte
