D.C. United vs Nashville SC Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Nashville SC
- Odds: +127 (Tonybet)
D.C. United ended their slump last week with a 2-1 win over Toronto FC at home, but it was far from convincing. They needed an own goal and a stoppage-time penalty from Tai Baribo to defeat one of MLS’s weakest teams this season. The struggles have been real for the Black-and-Red in 2026, as they’ve won just three of their last 10 league matches (W3, D6, L1).
Nashville SC, meanwhile, suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Orlando City SC just before the All-Star break in Antoine Griezmann’s debut for the Florida club. Prior to that, however, the Boys in Gold had won five games in a row. Moreover, their performance in that defeat (52% possession, 0.73 xG compared to the Lions’ 0.87) suggests they weren’t outmatched at all.

Tired legs could be an issue for Nashville as they play a second consecutive match on the road, whereas D.C. United enjoy a second straight fixture at home. Even so, the gap in quality is difficult to ignore. The Boys in Gold have the Eastern Conference’s third-best attack and best defence, which should prove too much for D.C. Expect the visitors to come away with all three points.
D.C. United vs Nashville SC Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Sam Surridge to score anytime
- Odds: +129 (Tonybet)
Surridge hasn’t been at his absolute best this season, and his chemistry with Hany Mukhtar hasn’t always clicked. Even so, the Englishman has scored 10 goals and sits three goals shy of first place in the MLS Golden Boot race.
He should take advantage of the matchup against a D.C. United side that have conceded 1.58 goals per game this season.
D.C. United vs Nashville SC Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Both teams to score + Over 2.5 goals + Nashville SC to get more corners
- Odds: +275 (Tonybet)
Don’t be surprised if this matchup turns into a high-scoring affair, with both sides finding the back of the net. BTTS has landed in eight of D.C. United’s last nine MLS matches and in the last two meetings between the clubs. Additionally, three of the last five head-to-heads have featured over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
Both sides average 4.3 corners per game. However, D.C. United concede more corners, allowing 5.2 per game. With Nashville likely to send numerous crosses to take advantage of Surridge’s aerial ability, the visitors should also lead the three-way corner market, especially if they dominate possession as expected.

D.C. United have some concerns on the defensive end, as Conner Antley (lower leg) and regular starter Kye Rowles (undisclosed) are both doubtful for this weekend. Gabe Segal is also out for at least a few more weeks due to an ankle injury.

However, the Black-and-Red should still be able to field a relatively strong lineup. Tai Baribo is expected to lead the attack, with Keisuke Kurokawa anchoring the defensive line, Brandon Servania patrolling the midfield, and Sean Johnson slotting between the posts.
Nashville SC Team News
The Boys in Gold had four players participate in the 2026 MLS All-Star Game on Wednesday: goalkeeper Brian Schwake, right-back Andy Najar, midfielder Hany Mukhtar, and striker Sam Surridge. All four are expected to be available to start on Saturday.

On the injury front, Reed Baker-Whiting, Cristián Espinoza, and Warren Madrigal remain doubtful due to lower-body injuries. The only confirmed absence is Patrick Yazbek, who isn’t expected to return until September at the earliest due to a quadriceps injury.
