🗞️ Team News: Nashville

Maximus Ekk (Knee injury), Walker Zimmerman (concussion) and Tyler Boyd (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Nashville boss B.J Callaghan.

It seems likely that Nashville will possibly use a 4-3-3 system, utilising Joe Willis, Josh Bauer, C. Applewhite, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz, Bryan Acosta, Edvard Tagseth, Gaston Brugman, Jonathan Pérez, Teal Bunbury and Ahmed Qasem.

ℹ️ Team News: Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC manager Dean Smith has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Brandon Cambridge (Muscle injury), Nimfasha Berchimas (Foot injury) and Jahlane Forbes (Muscle injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that Charlotte FC appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to Kristijan Kahlina, Nick Scardina, Bill Tuiloma, Andrew Privett, J. Marshall-Rutty, Kerwin Vargas, Djibril Diani, Eryk Williamson, Iúri Tavares, Patrick Agyemang and Wilfried Zaha.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, Charlotte FC have it in them to get a goal against this Nashville lineup, however that may not be enough to avoid defeat.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 advantage for Nashville by the conclusion of the game. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
