Prediction: 1-1
Nashville
Subaru Park will host Sunday’s MLS playoff game between Philadelphia and Nashville. The U’s set up a meeting with Nashville by beating New York Red Bulls after extra-time, but they will have a big fish to fry this time out. Despite failing to find the net in the triumph over Metros, Poland international Kacper Przbybylko should continue to lead the line for the hosts. Nashville, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Orlando City.
A man to watch in the away team will be Hany Mukhtar, who scored a brace in the last 16, and given Nashville’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Mexico international Daniel Rios remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
