My Prediction
Nashville SC by 1Hold onto your soccer scarves, we're in for a treat as Nashville SC squares off against Charlotte FC.
Nashville SC's man between the sticks, Joe Willis, has been putting in a mean performance with a rating of 7.57 and 14 saves under his belt. His counterpart for Charlotte FC, Kristijan Kahlina, isn't slacking, mind you. His rating is 7.47, and he's bagged 17 saves.
In the trenches, Nashville SC's got Walker Zimmerman directing traffic with a 7.50 rating and an accurate pass percentage of 88.7. Sam Surridge isn't too far behind, boasting a solid 7.30 rating and a goal to his name. Let's not forget Alex Muyl either, with his precise passing game giving him a rating of 7.18.
Over at the Charlotte camp, Pep Biel leads the pack with a rating of 7.80 and a goal under his belt. Patrick Agyemang and Tim Ream add to the team's offensive and defensive line respectively, and with ratings of 7.17 each, you can bet they aren't just making up numbers.
Looking back at their past encounters, it's been a rather topsy-turvy affair. Their last four meet-ups have seen two wins apiece - so you can toss a coin for who's got the edge in terms of head-to-head.
Regular season records? Identical – Nashville and Charlotte both tote a rather lukewarm 3-1-2. The recent results, however, paint a different picture. The Nashville SC boys seem to have found their groove, with three victories in their last five outings. On the other hand, Charlotte FC's form has been erratic with a couple of encouraging wins, but also a couple of deflating losses.
All things considered, I have to tip my hat towards Nashville SC, but it's going to be a closely fought contest so don't expect a goal fest.
