📰 Team News: Nashville
There’s just one fitness concern for the Nashville manager Gary Smith to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Randall Leal (Longitudinal tendon tear) won’t play.
We think that Nashville will probably kick off with a 3-4-1-2 formation for the game, utilising Joe Willis, Josh Bauer, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz, Alex Muyl, Anibal Godoy, Sean Davis, Jacob Shaffelburg, Sam Surridge, Teal Bunbury and Hany Mukhtar.
📰 Team News: Philadelphia Union
Thanks to a mainly full-strength group of players, there is only the sole fitness problem for the Philadelphia Union boss Jim Curtin to be concerned with. Leon Flach (Muscle tear) won’t be in action.
We’re of the thinking that The U seem likely to play in a 4-1-2-1-2 lineup by sending out Oliver Semmle, Nathan Harriel, Jakob Glesnes, Jack Elliott, Kai Wagner, Jose Martinez, Alejandro Bedoya, Jack McGlynn, Dániel Gazdag, Julián Carranza and Chris Donovan.
⚡ Prediction
Our thinking is that Philadelphia Union and Nashville are both capable of scoring here.
Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. We’re therefore tipping a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes.
