Nashville SC vs Philadelphia Union Preview and Team News

Nashville SC Team News

Nashville followed up with a third consecutive victory in the MLS against DC United on the road. Sam Surridge’s penalty in the 18th minute turned out to be the only goal of the encounter. The guests completely neutralized their opponents’ attacks in the second half, allowing zero shots on target.

The Nashville side are enjoying an astonishing 13-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Despite some weaknesses in the defence, they’ve been effective in the offence and deserve to occupy the third spot in the Eastern Conference.

Edvard Tagseth will be back with the squad after serving a suspension. Walker Zimmerman is on international duty, and it’s unclear whether Xavier Valdez and Jacob Shaffelburg will be included in the roster. 

Nashville SC predicted lineup vs Philadelphia Union (4-3-3): Willis; Lovitz, Palacios, Maher, Najar; Muyl, Yazbek, Tagseth; Mukhtar, Surridge, Perez.

Philadelphia Union Team News

Philadelphia’s 13-match unbeaten run came to an end in the last round against Columbus Crew. Mohamed Farsi’s late strike at the end of the first half ensured a win for the hosts, and the Union failed to produce even a single shot on target.

Despite the loss, Philadelphia still maintain the first position with 40 points, but now their rivals are within reach. The previous event was out of context as guests. Bradley Carnell’s men were completely immobilized for 90 minutes.

The club’s talisman, Tai Baribo, who is second in the MLS with 13 goals, is still questionable for this weekend’s game. Norwegian centre back Jakob Glesnes will return from his suspension. Nathan Harriel and Quinn Sullivan are on international duty with the United States.

Philadelphia Union predicted lineup vs Nashville SC (4-4-2): Blake; Wagner, Makhanya, Glesnes, Bedoya; Bender, Bueno, Jean Jacques, Vassilev; Anderson, Damiani.

Nashville SC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction 

• Pick: Nashville to Win
• Odds: 1.91 (22Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Nashville SC 2-1 Philadelphia Union

Nashville have been on a great run recently, and the latest results speak for themselves. Philadelphia Union are leading the Eastern Conference, but produced a dismal performance against Columbus Crew.

If we take a look at the H2H stats, Philadelphia have a slight edge, winning five out of the last 11 games. However, their key forward Tai Baribo may not feature, which is a blow for them.

We think the squad from Tennessee are in better shape and able to grab a victory in a close encounter. It won’t be an easy clash, but the hosts look confident, and our first pick would be Nashville to win.

Nashville SC vs Philadelphia Union Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.59 (22Bet)

This will be a match between two of the most fruitful teams of the Eastern Conference. Neither side prefer defensive displays, so we anticipate an exchange of moments from both clubs.

In the last seven out of 10 Nashville’s meetings, we saw both clubs scoring. Philadelphia Union have better stats, but playing at Geodis Park is a challenge for every side, and the guests will have a hard time keeping a clean sheet.

We think that Philadelphia are capable of netting at least once, as they have fast and agile forwards in the offence. Our second prediction would be both teams to score.
