United host Nashville SC in a Major League Soccer clash that pits a home side desperate to climb the Eastern Conference table against a Nashville team that has built its identity on defensive solidity.

Nashville, meanwhile, have been compact and hard to break down, often relying on set pieces and quick transitions to score. The market reflects a tight contest, with odds indicating a slight edge for the home side, but Nashville's resilience makes them a live underdog.
Tactically, D.C. United will look to control possession and create through the flanks, while Nashville will likely sit deep and absorb pressure, looking to exploit spaces behind the full-backs.
