Score Prediction

Heading into this match, you might expect Nashville SC to take control and comfortably beat Atlanta United by a wide margin.

One team sits at the top of the Eastern Conference and will be determined to stay there, while the other is fighting to climb out of the bottom half of the standings.

However, this sport has shown time and time again that anyone can beat anyone, so don't rule out the possibility of the Five Stripes pulling off an upset.

Although it’s not impossible, it’s unlikely to see Atlanta United pull off an incredible move with Nashville's solidity on defense.

Being outside of home, the Five Stripes will have an uphill battle from the very first start.
