We said: Nashville SC 1-0 Real Salt Lake
RSL won the opening fixture between these sides in 2022 (2-1), but this is a different Nashville team who seem to be finding their footing, and when they are on, they are one of the most challenging sides to penetrate. Claret and Cobalt have failed to score in four road fixtures this year and are still lacking a creative presence in the middle of the field. Read more.Data Analysis
