Nashville SC
- Nashville SC are on a two-game winning run in MLS 2026 following their 3-0 away win over New England Revolution and 3-2 home win over Los Angeles FC, results which have left them third on the table with 24 points from 11 matches in what has been a strong start to the new season.
-
The Boys in Gold have been a formidable force on home turf this season, posting a perfect record of four wins and a draw from their five matches at GEODIS Park, and BJ Callaghan has done a superb job since taking the reins in July 2024, bringing his pragmatic, defensively disciplined style of soccer to the Tennessee club.

New York City FC
- In Pascal Jansen’s possession-based, high-tempo NYCFC side, who have three wins, one draw and a defeat from their last five MLS games, Hannes Wolf has been in excellent form, hitting three goals in his last five appearances for the club.
- Nicolas Fernandez is NYCFC’s focal point at the front of their build-up play and is the team’s top goalscorer with eight MLS 2026 goals in 12 appearances, but with Warren Madrigal having found his goal-scoring rhythm for Nashville SC recently, hitting two in his last five matches, and Sam Surridge having nine in just seven, we could see goals on both ends of the pitch on Sunday.

Betting Insights
Over 2.5 goals at 1.85 and both teams to score at 1.71 looks good given New York City FC have been letting in an average of 1.25 goals per away game in MLS 2026, and Nashville are scoring 3.60 and conceding 1.20 per home match.
Prediction
Nashville SC are a team to beat in MLS 2026 and the odds-on favorite for Sunday’s game at 1.83 , which is well worth taking given their excellent home record in the league and New York City’s mediocre road form.
