Nashville sit comfortably at the top of the table and have been one of the more consistent sides this season. Four wins from their last five - one defeat - is the best run in the league right now. Over the past ten matches they've won more than half and conceded under a goal per game on average (0.8), which makes them one of the stingiest defenses around. Their attacking output away from home is close to two goals per match - 1.94 - solid numbers even with the pressure of staying at the summit. Keeping that top spot drives the mentality, though at this stage of the season there's no need to chase results at all costs.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both sides still have something to play for at this stage of the season, but what stands out in this match is a different pattern: DC United regularly trade goals at home, and the recent trend backs that up - they've both scored and conceded in six straight games. The scoring averages on both sides point the same way: the hosts average around two goals per game across their last ten, while the visitors have consistently stayed above 1.5 goals per game this season. DC United's defence isn't exactly solid either - close to 1.6 goals conceded per match. With that trend as clear as it is, the pick here is Both Teams To Score - Yes.
