Prediction: 2-1
Atlanta United
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Montreal, Nashville will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Atlanta United to their Geodis Park on Sunday. Nashville are seen as one of the teams to beat in the 2022 MLS campaign, and you should know that they are eyeing their third consecutive win on home soil. Hany Mukhtar should keep his place up front after finding the net in the midweek triumph, whilst all Irakoze Donasiyano, Robert Castellanos, and Teal Bunbury continue to miss out with injuries.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. Atlanta United, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the in-form hosts. The likes of Guzan, Castanheira, Alonso, Martinez, Chol remain on the sidelines with injuries for the away side.
