Why Nashville is a good bet against Orlando City
In the last 5 head-to-head matchups, Nashville has lost to Orlando City just once. The road underdog in this has won twice and the 2 teams have drawn.
On Monday night, if Nashville plays the way many expect they will, the road squad should make life difficult for Orlando City.
Why Orlando City is a good bet against Nashville
Orlando City has won 4 straight matches. 1 of the wins during the streak was a 1-0 victory over their Monday night opponent on the road in Nashville.
The other 3 wins came against Montreal, New England Revolution, and Toronto. Orlando is on fire.
Final Betting Prediction: Orlando City FC vs Nashville FC
Nashville’s form doesn’t inspire confidence. The road team has lost 2 with a couple of draws and a single victory over New England Revolution in their last 5.
Orlando City not only has home pitch advantage, but the favored team is on a nice winning streak. Not only that, but the victory over Nashville happened on the road. So, if anything, Orlando City should win this by 2 goals facing their rivals at home.

Why FC Dallas is a good bet against Seattle Sounders
In the previous matchups between Dallas and Seattle, the road team in this played excellent soccer. Dallas forced draws in both games even though Seattle was the chalk in at least 1 of those matchups.
Dallas also heads into this having not tasted defeat in their last 5. FC Dallas drew in 4 straight before their last, a 4-1 road victory over the LA Galaxy.
Why Seattle Sounders is a good bet against FC Dallas
The Sounders, like their rivals in this contest, also hasn’t tasted defeat in their last 5. Seattle shows 3 wins and a couple of draws.
The wins came against Colorado, the Galaxy, and St. Louis. The draws were versus MLS Eastern Conference Playoff participant Nashville and Vancouver.
Final Betting Prediction: Seattle Sounders vs FC Dallas
Both teams are playing well enough to attract looks. Seattle has an edge because this is at Lumen Field, but FC Dallas is a decent road squad.
The real stat to consider is that Seattle and Dallas have drawn in the last couple of head-to-head matches. That tells us the Sounders and the road team in this are going to play a conservative match and not push the attack. A third straight draw is a real possibility.
