My Prediction
Nashville SC by 1Ping pong, here we go! Let's talk about Nashville SC and DC United. Now if you give me the goalkeeper stats, my grandmother could tell you Nashville is clutching some straws in the wind, like a Saturday shopper at a two-dollar clearance market. Joe Willis, bless his heart, is sitting on a 6.80 rating with 11 saves. Not too shabby, but compare that to DC United and their man Luis Barraza with a 7.10 rating and 14 saves. Seems DC United prefers their balls saved, not served.
On the front players, DC United has João Peglow showing off a very impressive 8.90 rating, Aaron Herrera at a decent 7.25 and Christian Benteke moseying around a 7.07. Solid stats, indeed. Nashville? They've got Hany Mukhtar at 7.87, Sam Surridge at 7.55 and precious Andy Najar at 7.50. Not precisely league leaders, but they may just surprise us if the stars decide to dance.
Now history is one pesky mistress you can't manage to shake off. The pesky record details? Nashville SC 3 vs DC United 4, DC United 2 vs Nashville SC 1, Nashville SC 2 vs DC United 0 and DC United 1 vs Nashville SC 1. Pretty tit for tat, if my eyes do not deceive me.
Talking wins, draws, and those from the wrong side of the turf, we have DC United sitting on a 3-3-6 while Nashville SC is proudly parading a 6-2-4. Recent results are like a seesaw. For DC United, two wins, one draw and two losses while Nashville on the other hand is owning it with three wins, one draw and one loss.
So, after digesting this buffet of facts, figures and a wee bit of augmented history, it's time for me to summon my rarely-wrong predictive powers encapsulated in the enigma I call "gut feeling". With a dramatic drumroll, here it comes:
