It’s difficult to see either team winning this game after such a horrible performance in their last match. They are both in very bad shape at the moment, only for DC United it has been more consistent. It’s going to take a fighting mentality to get a good result in this match and from all indications, Nashville is more likely to show that more than DC United. The h2h also shows DC United have never beaten Nashville in all 7 meetings against each other, so at the moment their chances of doing that gets even thinner. Another great bet is the goal market. Both clubs are so bad they can’t resist the urge to concede a goal.
