Prediction published on 02/06/2023, 14:45  by Devesh Jaganath in Major League Soccer Predictions

FC Dallas will welcome Nashville to the Toyota Stadium for an MLS encounter on Sunday. The hosts are currently fourth in a compact Western Conference, just three points behind the Seattle Sounders at the top, though they have played a game less. They were beaten 2-1 by Sporting KC in their last match, which brought an end to a five-match unbeaten run that included two wins and three draws. In seven home matches this season, Dallas have taken a total of 14 points from a possible 21. Their home record reads as four wins, two draws, and one loss. That loss came in their opening match of the season, meaning that they are now unbeaten in their last six at home. Jesus Ferreira has been invaluable to Dallas this season, netting nine times already, and is currently joint second in the golden boot standings. Can the hosts maintain their strong home record this season?

Nashville, meanwhile, are second in the Eastern Conference, eight points behind the current leaders Cincinnati. They’ve managed 28 points in their first 15 matches and are just one point ahead of Philadelphia in third place. The visitors registered a solid 3-1 win over Columbus Crew in their last match to take their recent record to seven matches without defeat. During that run, they’ve picked up five wins and two draws. Their away record, though, has been less impressive, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in six matches on the road. Nashville won the previous encounter between these sides 4-0 last season. They will need another win this time around to keep within touching distance of Cincinnati, who are opening up a bit of a gap at the top of the Eastern Conference.
