Philadelphia Union vs Nashville SC Prediction
Philadelphia and Nashville have both been solid defensively in the regular season, so we expect the game to be a low-scoring one. Union were unable to find a way past the Red Bulls in their previous outing and had to rely on a wonder goal by Glesnes.
Mukhtar's fine form in front of goal gives Nashville the advantage and they just might be able to record a win here.
Prediction: Philadelphia Union 1-2 Nashville SC
