With their MLS playoff hopes on the line, Nashville SC travel to Red Bull Arena on Sunday for a date with New York City FC.
On Wednesday, the Pigeons moved up to fifth in the Eastern Conference thanks to a 3-2 victory over FC Cincinnati, while the club from the Music City fell four points below the post-season line with a 4-3 loss at home to DC United.
We say: New York City FC 2-1 Nashville SC
The Pigeons should be brimming with confidence after finally beating an elite MLS team this week in Cincinnati, and we expect them to continue that momentum into this encounter.

Needing a single point to assure themselves a place in the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs, the Portland Timbers host Dallas on Sunday at Providence Park.
A 1-0 loss to Austin FC in midweek kept the Timbers in ninth in the Western Conference, eight points ahead of the Toros, who were beaten 3-2 by the San Jose Earthquakes and officially eliminated from post-season contention.
We say: Portland Timbers 3-0 Dallas
Dallas have been poor defensively for a good portion of the season, and they will have a plethora of attacking weapons to contend with this weekend, which we believe will ultimately be too much for them to handle.
