New York Red Bulls vs Nashville SC Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both teams are looking for their first win of the season.

The new season of Major League Soccer is underway and New York Red Bulls will host Nashville on matchday two. The home side suffered a loss on the opening Matchday against Cincinnati. They were arguably the better side despite being away from home but lacked the clinical edge in front of goal. They will look to get back to winning ways in their upcoming game.

Nashville on the other hand started their new season with a 0-0 draw against New England. They find themselves in the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference of the competition. Nashville played a great game but could not breach the defense of New England. MLS is one of the most unpredictable leagues in world football and this game between Nashville and New York Red Bulls will promise a lot of excitement and entertainment.
