We’re thinking that New York City FC might have a difficult job to put one past this Nashville side who we reckon will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We’re therefore expecting a very even match with a 1-0 winning score for Nashville at the end of the 90.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
