Preview
Nashville SC come into this after a goalless draw against San Jose in their previous clash last week.
This stretched their unbeaten run to 5 matches across competitions as Nashville stay in 6th place in the league table despite the result.
With 23 points from 15 matches, Nashville SC are in a comfortable space in terms of play-off hopes and hope to continue their good run of form.
On the other hand, Sporting KC lost 2-1 at home to New England in their previous clash on Monday.
This ensured successive defeats in the MLS for the first time since their hat-trick of losses in April.
Russell’s strike could not affect the result as Bou and Boateng’s efforts inflicted the loss on the hosts.
This loss left Sporting KC at the bottom of the Western League table standings with 13 points from 16 matches.
Both teams last met in April, where Nashville SC won 2-1 away from home.

Prediction: Nashville 1-0 Sporting KC
The difference in points table shows how far off the teams are from each other.
While the hosts are inconsistent but finding their way up, Sporting KC are rooted to the bottom with lack of form and momentum.
However, we have seen close clashes between the two sides in recent past and this one should be no different.
We see a narrow win for the Nashville SC side here.
