The only scorer from Nashville was McKinze Gaines (13').
A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games involving Nashville has been evident in recent matches. A glance at their last 6 games shows that it’s occurred 6 times. In those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal total of 3 and Nashville have scored 6. Despite that, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend will continue on in this upcoming match or not.

🗞️ Team News: Colorado Rapids
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Colorado Rapids boss Chris Armas to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Daniel Chacón (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.
It looks as if Colorado Rapids may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time with Zack Steffen, Keegan Rosenberry, Moise Bombito, Andreas Maxsö, Sam Vines, Connor Ronan, Oliver Larraz, Calvin Harris, Djordje Mihailovic, Jonathan Lewis and Rafael Navarro.
ℹ️ Team News: Nashville
Due to a mostly full-strength group, there’s only the lone fitness issue for the Nashville manager Gary Smith to be concerned with. Randall Leal (Longitudinal tendon tear) misses out for this game.
We reckon that Nashville could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Joe Willis, Shaq Moore, Jack Maher, Lukas MacNaughton, Taylor Washington, Dru Yearwood, Sean Davis, Alex Muyl, Adem Sipić, Teal Bunbury and Jacob Shaffelburg.
💭 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Nashville will need to put in a solid display to break down this Colorado Rapids team who we reckon will gain the upper hand.
We’ve gone for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Colorado Rapids after 90 minutes.
Should be a close one.
