We can now bring you the two predicted teams as well as player availability news for Sunday’s big MLS match.
Nashville will be hoping to bounce back here following a 3-0 MLS defeat last time out to Seattle Sounders FC. It’s our opinion that Nashville will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Joe Willis, Andy Najar, Jeisson Palacios, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz, Patrick Yazbek, Gaston Brugman, Alex Muyl, Hany Mukhtar, Ahmed Qasem and Sam Surridge.
Tyler Boyd, Walker Zimmerman, Bryan Acosta and Maximus Ekk will not be able to play for Nashville manager B.J Callaghan.
How Nashville might line up to play Chicago Fire
Since a loss in their previous game against FC Cincinatti in MLS action, Chicago Fire and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. We are inclined to think that Men in Red will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation using Chris Brady, Omari Glasgow, Samuel Rogers, Jack Elliott, Andrew Gutman, Sergio Oregel, Mauricio Pineda, Brian Gutierrez, Philip Zinckernagel, Hugo Cuypers and Jonathan Bamba.
Chicago Fire manager Gregg Berhalter has to choose a team with limited availability. Chase Gasper (Hamstring injury) and David Poreba (Torn ligaments) are not able to play.
