🗞️ Team News: Nashville

Maximus Ekk (Knee injury), Taylor Washington (Knee injury) and Tyler Boyd (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Nashville gaffer B.J Callaghan.

In all likelihood, Nashville may well line up in a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Joe Willis, Josh Bauer, Jeisson Palacios, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz, Jonathan Pérez, Patrick Yazbek, Gaston Brugman, Hany Mukhtar, Sam Surridge and Alex Muyl.

📋 Team News: Philadelphia Union

From a largely available group, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Philadelphia Union gaffer Bradley Carnell to contend with. Ian Glavinovich (Knee injury) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that The U appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation, going with Andre Blake, Alejandro Bedoya, Olwethu Makhanya, Jovan Lukic, Kai Wagner, Indiana Vassilev, Danley Jean Jacques, Jeremy Rafanello, Ben Bender, Bruno Damiani and Markus Anderson.

🔮 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Philadelphia Union could well find it tough to break down this Nashville outfit who we think will gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Nashville at the conclusion of the game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
