MLS: Nashville vs. Houston Picks — Hosts to Bounce Back to Winning Ways in Tennessee? (Sep 27)

The finishing line in the MLS regular season is creeping into sight, and the pressure will be increasing on the teams in the race for a playoff spot. This weekend’s hosts will be aiming to end a winless run, but will they rank among the most likely Nashville vs. Houston picks?

Nashville come into this round sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference standings. However, aside from their U.S. Open Cup semi-final win over Philadelphia, they have suffered defeats in each of their last two fixtures in the MLS.

Houston recorded a 1-0 victory over Portland last weekend to remain in contention for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. But, can they record successive MLS wins this Saturday?
