BTTS
Our primary DC United vs Nashville prediction is perhaps contradictory to what coach Gary Smith’s boys have been showing on the pitch in recent games but we stand behind our words. DC United managed to score in six consecutive games – five MLS matches and one U.S. Open Cup game versus Richmond Kickers.
Meanwhile, despite Nashville’s unyielding backline, coach Gary Smith’s boys did crack a couple of times. The most recent example we can give is the Atlanta United showdown on the 29th of April.
Nashville to Win
The second DC United vs Nashville prediction is a continuation of the first one as we’d like to talk more about how well-organized the visitors’ defense is these days. Sure, Atlanta United scored on the 29th of April but that didn’t come as a shock. After all, Gonzalo Pineda’s boys have been tremendous up front and it’s a tiny miracle that they didn’t bag more.
Furthermore, Nashville have the best defensive record in the business with only six goals conceded in 11 MLS matches. How can we possibly expect coach Wayne Rooney’s boys to get the three points on Sunday?

DC United odds: +125 – 43.0%
Draw odds: +220 – 29.0%
Nashville odds: +245 – 28.0%
Even a draw at +220 has a higher chance of success than our Nashville to win tip at +245 (28.0%). DC United are surprisingly the bookmakers’ expected winners at +125 as coach Rooney’s boys have a 43.0% win probability ahead of Sunday’s MLS brawl.
DC United vs Nashville Lineups & Team News
DC United
Christian Benteke has been above everyone else on DC United’s roster this season. The former Liverpool and Crystal Palace superstar is now strutting his stuff at Audi Field and his performances are truly inspiring. With five goals to his name already, it’s no wonder why DC United are so higher up the ladder in the Eastern Conference.
Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Pines, Palsson, Williams, Klich, O’Brien, Durkin, Canouse, Najar, Benteke & Fountas
Nashville
Prior to the U.S. Open Cup match versus Dallas, Gary Smith’s side had to face lackluster Chicago Fire at home. Nashville’s display at GEODIS Park was one to savor as the players bagged three goals while conceding none. With a whopping 30 shots at target and 11 on target from Nashville, coach Ezra Hendrickson can count himself lucky that his club got away with only three conceded goals.
Predicted lineup – Willis (GK), Zimmerman, Lovitz, Maher, Moore, Picault, Godoy, McCarty, Muyl, Mukhtar & Shaffelburg

Player to Watch: Hany Mukhtar
We are so convinced that our top DC United vs Nashville predictions will be successful because we know Hany Mukhtar will be among the starters for coach Gary Smith on the 14th of May. The 28-year-old German bagged a sensational hattrick versus Chicago Fire last week and those three goals skyrocketed him to 4th place in MLS’ goalscoring charts.
With six goals and a couple of assists on his name already, Hany Mukhtar will try to have another go at the MLS top goalscorers’ award this season as Austin’s Sebastian Driussi got the better of him last year.
