Nashville SC

- Nashville have won their last four at home across all competitions and are looking to bounce back from a 1-0 away defeat to Orlando City SC after beating CF Montreal by the same score at home.
- BJ Callaghan has the team set up in a 4-2-2-2 formation with an overload in the center of the field, short passing and a high line that Nashville use well to smother opponents and play vertically.
- Hany Mukhtar remains their clutch man in the clutch with three of Nashville's seven goals in the past five games coming from his feet.
León
- León have lost their last two and come into this game on the back of four successive defeats.
- They've been better but not good, losing 2-3 to CF Atlas Guadalajara at home and 1-0 to Club Tijuana in their away game last weekend.
- On the road, across all competition, León have won just two and lost three of five games, shipping 11 goals.
- Ignacio Ambriz is deploying a fluid 4-2-3-1 with sharp, aggressive pressing and pace players to take advantage of the breaks created in transition.
Nashville SC

Betting Insights
- Nashville enter the match as clear favorites, while the away team are the minnows in this fixture and it might not be a bad idea to look for some alternative angles rather than the head-to-head result.
- For starters, the draw comes in at 3.85 which seems pretty big for a game between two teams with a different recent record and it's possible that these two could cancel each other out in a tight game.
- A safer alternative could be Nashville to win and under 3.5 goals as the hosts look set to control the pace in this one and get more joy than León.
Prediction
Safer alternative: Nashville to win and under 3.5 goals.
