Nashville SC vs Toronto FC Prediction: The Boys in Gold will neutralise their stubborn guests on their ground

Nashville SC vs Toronto FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 20 July 2025

The Boys in Gold will hope to close the gap at the top when they lock horns against a Toronto FC side at the Geodis Park on Sunday. The Reds, who have now played back-to-back games without a loss for just the third time since October last year, will be keen to amass all the points against their opponent later this week.

The Boys in Gold recovered fully from their recent setback against Inter Miami as they moved to third place on the log. After failing to maintain their thirteen-game unbeaten run in the MLS with a loss against Inter Miami, Nashville SC recorded an impressive victory over Columbus Crew at home. Despite not playing at their best, Nashville SC found the back of the net with just two minutes on the pitch. Hany Mukhtar extended the lead some minutes later to give his side a halftime advantage. Columbus Crew had more of the ball and fired more shots, but they were not threading enough as Nashville SC scored their third of the day. 

It was an improved display compared to the (2-1) loss against Inter Miami on the road. Nashville have won five and lost once in their last six MLS games. 

The Boys in God have picked up forty-two points from a combined sixty-nine (23) MLS Games, finding the back of the net forty-one times (41) and conceding twenty-five (25). They are presently third on the log with two points behind the league leaders. 

Nashville SC's home record has been the best so far in the league, winning eight of their previous games on their home ground. 

Nashville SC Lineup

The hosts have been one of the best teams in the league this season, and the current highest goal scorer in the MLS, Sam Surridge, will hope to continue his scoring streak later this week. Perez will sit out again after receiving his fourth hello card of the campaign. 

Nashville SC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Joe Willis—Najar, Palacios, Maher, Lovitz—Patrick Yazbek, Edvard Tagseth—Perez, Mukhtar, Alex Muyl—Sam Surridge

Out: Tyler Boyd, Maximus Ekk, Meyer, Taylor Washington, Walker Zimmerman

Head coach: BJ Callaghan

Toronto FC: form and statistics

Last five games: DWLDW

The Reds are gradually working their way to the top after losing just one of their last five MLS games. Toronto FC pulled off a surprise stunt a few days ago when they defeated San Diego FC away from home. San Diego, who have been pretty consistent this campaign, started the game poorly and despite having more of the ball, they conceded a penalty in the 18th minute, which was converted by Corbeanu. Toronto FC, who stood no chance against their opponent, defended the lead with their lives and their third game in four away matches. Toronto FC have been magnificent away from home and struggle to make sense on their ground. 

Before their recent win, Toronto FC could not see off a struggling Atlanta United on their ground, settling for a share of the spoils. 

Robin Fraser’s men were one of the most inconsistent teams in the division this campaign, but they have been pretty impressive in recent weeks. With five wins in their last twenty-two MLS games, Toronto FC are now seven points above the bottom of the Eastern Conference. 

Toronto FC have picked up twenty-two points from a combined sixty-six, scoring twenty-five (25) and conceding twenty-nine (29).

Robin Fraser’s men have won three, lost four, and drawn twice on the road this season. 

Toronto FC Lineup

The guests continue life with Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardesch, whose contracts were terminated by the club after three years with NY City. Robin Fraser's men operated in another formation against San Diego, and since it worked out, they might just stick with it against Nashville SC.

Toronto FC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Sean Johnson—Thompson, Long, Rosted, Petretta—Alonso Coello, Laryes—Longstaff, Corbeanu, Maxime Dominguez—Ola Brynhildsen

Out: Monlouis, Henry Wingo, Flores, Gomis, 

Head coach: Robin Fraser

Nashville SC vs Toronto FC match prediction 20 July 2025

Nashville SC are gunning for the MLS title this season, considering their consistent performance and ability to improve after a setback. Despite their poor display against Inter Miami on the road, they bounced back with an impressive display against Columbus Crew, scoring three unanswered goals. 

Meanwhile, Toronto FC stunned a solid San Diego FC side on the road, recording three wins in their last four away from home. 

Nashville SC have one of the best attacks in the division, with Sam Surridge being the highest goalscorer in the division, and just one team has stopped them from scoring in their previous sixteen games in all competitions. They’ll face a dangerous Toronto FC side who have only lost once in their last five games on the road.

Toronto FC will be so jaded to put up the same performance as they did against San Diego FC, and I think the hosts might take advantage of this. Nashville SC have lots of players that can get things going for them, and I believe they stand a better chance against the guests. This is not an equal game, as Nashville SC are expected to exert dominance over Toronto FC, considering the hosts' decent display at home. 

My match prediction is for Nashville FC to win and score more than a goal with a coefficient of 1.65 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My betting tip for this game is for Nashville SC to win before the break for a coefficient of 1.93 on the Betway bookmaker.

My final prediction is BTTS for a coefficient of 1.93 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

Good luck!
