The first of three MLS fixtures on Sunday will see the Philadelphia Union seeking to maintain their 100% record when they host Nashville SC at Subaru Park.
Philly are first in the Eastern Conference following a 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution, while the Boys in Gold won their first game of the season, 2-0, at home to the Portland Timbers.
We say: Philadelphia Union 1-0 Nashville SC
The Union are likely to face their toughest defensive test yet, but they are pretty sharp in that department too, and we believe they have the resources to counter the Boys in Gold and continue their winning ways.

Still searching for the first victory of the 2025 MLS campaign, the Los Angeles Galaxy will travel to Providence Park on Sunday for a match against the Portland Timbers.
Last Saturday, the Timbers were beaten 2-0 at Nashville SC, while the reigning MLS Cup champions suffered a 3-0 defeat at home versus St Louis City.
We say: Portland Timbers 1-3 Los Angeles Galaxy
Playing an exceptionally soft and susceptible Timbers defensive unit is exactly what the Galaxy need to get their campaign back on track, and we expect they will gain a lot of confidence from their performance on Wednesday heading into this clash.

Atlanta United will host Inter Miami at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday in a rematch from the opening round of the 2024 MLS Cup playoffs.
Last week, the Five Stripes played to a 0-0 draw at home to the New York Red Bulls, while the Herons were 1-0 winners over Charlotte FC.
We say: Atlanta United 0-3 Inter Miami
Miami will not forget what happened the last time they played Atlanta, and we expect they will use that upset defeat in the 2024 playoffs as motivation to make a statement on Sunday.
