Correct Score Prediction

-
1
Chicago
Let’s take a chance on the +575 available that Nashville secure a 2-1 victory. There’s a nice potential return waiting if we’re able to predict the correct score.
Player Prop Picks
Cristian Espinoza (Nashville) can be backed to register a minimum of one shot on goal at -118. It’s hard to turn down such attractive odds for this player when it comes to Shots on Target.
Hany Mukhtar (Nashville) has scored at least one goal in three straight MLS home games. When it comes to him finding the net, we believe the +135 available is appealing when backing him on the Anytime Goalscorer market.
