Nashville SC vs Mazatlan FC preview
This game will take place on 31/07/2024 at Geodis Park. Kick off will be at 21:00 local time.
Wednesday’s hosts have had a tough time of late. The men from Geodis Park are without a win in six games. They’ll be hoping that the switch to Leagues Cup action helps them to bounce back.
Not only have the hosts won none of their last six, but they’ve lost each of those six, coming into this one off the back of consecutive 3-0 defeats.
In general, though, the boys from Music City can make life tough for opponents at home, so despite their poor recent run, they may still fancy themselves to get a result here.
As for the Mexicans, well, they too have floundered in recent weeks. They entered the Leagues Cup having failed to win any of their last six Liga MX games, tying two and losing four of those, scoring only four goals in the process.
First up in this competition, they were faced by a similarly out-of-form New England Revolution team, but that didn’t help much as they lost by a goal to nil.
The Mexicans will now make the trip back down to Tennessee, which if nothing else, is a little closer to home for Ismael Rescalvo’s men.
Nashville SC vs Mazatlan FC picks
This game lacks a variety of outstanding betting opportunities, at least from a value point of view, but fortunately, there’s the opportunity to keep it simple with one bet that offers a slice of value at the early odds. Here we go.
Nashville SC to Win
If the hosts needed a golden opportunity to turn things around, then this may just be it. In fact, I’d say that this definitely is their golden opportunity to bounce back and rebuild their confidence with a win.
Sure, the team with the new head coach (BJ Callaghan), is struggling right now, but at Geodis Park, they’re not strangers to picking up decent results, while they don’t often concede many goals on home soil, which bodes well ahead of a game against a low-scoring away team.
On the road, the visitors have lost each of their last four, scoring zero goals, while they didn’t exactly create the most positive impression at Gillette Stadium the other night.
It’s also important to factor in that the hosts have had longer to prepare for this game, while they’ve also had much less travelling to do.
All in all, the home win looks just that little bit more likely than the early odds suggest, so taking odds of -120 at BetMGM is the way to go.
