Nashville is coming into this match playing in much better form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 3 matches with both their attack and their defense playing much better in these. They have scored 6 goals in their last 3 matches, averaging 2 goals scored per match in that span, and they have only allowed 2 goals in their last 3 matches as well. When playing at home, they have been in much better form recently as they have won their last 2 straight matches there and have outscored their opponents 6-1 in those 2 matches. They have also won 3 of their last 6 matches there and have lost just 1 match in their last 12 straight at home. They are going up against an Atlanta side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 matches, but their only win in that span also came against a much weaker Charlotte Independence side in the US Open Cup. When playing in the MLS against stronger opponents, they have actually been much worse recently as they have lost their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches with no wins in their last 7 straight league matches. When playing away from home, they have lost 3 of their 5 away matches this season with no wins in that span and their attack has been awful in those as well as they have only scored 1 goal in their 5 away matches. Scoring has been a big issue for this Atlanta side recently, especially in their away matches this season, and they have actually been a much stronger home side over the last few seasons as well as their poor away form is not anything new. Nashville was in a bit of a slump now they are starting to play in much better form as they have been great in their last 2 matches at home. Nashville will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
