My Prediction
Nashville SC by 2Let's cut to the chase, folks—scratch that, let's cut to the football, shall we?
Now, you're probably wondering about the performance of our goalkeepers. Joe Willis has been keeping Nashville SC somewhat watertight with a rating of 6.86 and 15 saves. Not bad, but he might have taken a page or two from Carlos Coronel of the New York Red Bulls. Now here's a man who's been in flying form between the posts with a rating of 7.38 and 19 saves this season.
Looking at superheroes sans the capes from each team, Nashville SC has Hany Mukhtar who boasts of a 7.70 rating, 3 goals, and 14 shots on goal, followed by Sam Surridge with a 7.54 rating, 5 goals, and 11 shots on goal. Mighty impressive, those lads.
On the flip side, the New York Red Bulls has Alexander Hack leading the charge with a killer rating of 7.90, and, well, no goals or shots on goal; quite the pacifist, our Hack. The goal-scoring drought is alleviated by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Emil Forsberg, who have netted 4 and 2 goals respectively.
But hey, let's not forget the courtship these two have had in the past. While Nashville SC is still looking to pop the cherry with their first ever win against the Red Bulls, their last five dances have seen them go home without a win with Red Bulls dominating twice and the other three ending in a stalemate.
Flipping through the season’s scrapbook, the Red Bulls stand at 5 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, getting outshone only slightly by our Nashville sweethearts who boast 6 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses.
Emerging from their recent battles slightly scathed, Red Bulls scalped a staggering 7-0 win against LA Galaxy but also suffered a brutal 4-1 defeat against Inter Miami CF. Meanwhile, Nashville SC looks to continue their high from a glorious 7-2 win against the Chicago Fire.
However, my friends, when it comes to sports, it's about the grit, the sweat, the glory, and of course, those mysterious algorithms that only Albert Einstein might have had a shot at understanding. Tossing all this data in my super statistic soup, I foresee...
