New York RB v Nashville SC : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 20th Aug, 00:30 BST, Red Bull Arena, Harrison, Harrison

New York RB and their manager Michael Bradley will be looking to get one over on Brian Joseph Callaghan II and his Nashville SC side on Thursday morning, as the pair go head to head at the Red Bull Arena, Harrison in the Major League Soccer. All of the important statistics for the tie, including head-to-heads, predictions and odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers across 17 markets are covered in this betting preview. It's all designed to help you make the most well-informed bet possible.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that NY Red Bulls and Nashville will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Michael Bradley or Brian Joseph Callaghan II has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.14 equating to approximately a 79% probability.
