Charlotte FC vs. Montreal (Sunday, 12.30am)
Two teams separated by just two points in the middle of the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference will square off on Saturday, as Charlotte FC entertain CF Montreal.
Thanks to back-to-back victories, the visitors now sit eighth in the division, while their hosts have dropped to 10th spot in the midst of a winless run.
We say: Charlotte FC 0-1 CF Montreal
With a Charlotte FC team lacking confidence, and possibly their key forward, meeting a resurgent CF Montreal outfit on the back of consecutive clean sheets and wins, we can only envisage the visitors continuing their streak and coming out on top on Saturday.

Columbus Crew vs. Nashville (Sunday, 12.30am)
Nashville SC make the journey north to Ohio to lock horns with Columbus Crew at Lower.com Field for an Eastern Conference clash in MLS on Sunday.
While the visitors are seeking to bounce back from defeat last time out, the hosts are hoping to extend their unbeaten run to five matches.
We say: Columbus Crew 1-2 Nashville SC
Columbus Crew have won each of their last three MLS home games, scoring nine goals in the process, and they will be hoping to take advantage of Nashville's minor wobble last time out.
However, the visitors will have belief in their abilities to bounce back having won their last two meetings with the Crew, and the fine form of star man Mukhtar could help them come out on top in Ohio.

DC United vs. Cincinnati (Sunday, 12.30am)
Runaway MLS leaders FC Cincinnati seek a 14th win from 19 games in the 2023 campaign when they venture to Audi Field for a date with DC United on Saturday.
The visitors returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion last time out with a 3-0 beating of Toronto, while Wayne Rooney's men were put to the sword 2-1 by Real Salt Lake.
We say: DC United 1-2 FC Cincinnati
DC United need no lessons in making their attacking phases count, but it is a different story for Rooney's charges at the other end of the field, and a third successive loss is surely on the cards.
Cincinnati are missing several members of their forward line for various reasons, but the league leaders should still march on with a win here - even if their inconsistent away form and midweek fatigue means it is not as emphatic as first hoped.

New England vs. Toronto (Sunday, 12.30am)
The New England Revolution can keep their unbeaten domestic run at Gillette Stadium intact on Saturday when they host Toronto.
New England are one of only three MLS sides without a home defeat this season following a 3-1 victory versus Orlando City last weekend, while the Reds are one of three teams who have yet to win a road fixture this year, falling 3-0 to FC Cincinnati earlier this week.
We say: New England Revolution 3-0 Toronto
TFC have struggled to create many scoring opportunities away from home, and their backline is too inconsistent from one match to another for us to believe they will be able to shut down a side in New England with plenty of attacking threats.

NY Red Bulls vs. Atlanta (Sunday, 12.30am)
New York Red Bulls welcome Atlanta United to the Red Bull Arena for an Eastern Conference encounter in MLS on Saturday night.
The two teams rescued a point each in 2-2 draws last time out, with the Red Bulls sharing the spoils with Charlotte FC and Atlanta playing out a four-goal draw with New York City FC.
We say: New York Red Bulls 1-2 Atlanta United
Both teams will fancy their chances of claim maximum points in this fixture, and although Atlanta have struggled to come away with positive results in previous meetings at New York Red Bulls, Sunday could be the day that they finally record their first win at the Red Bull Arena.

Philadelphia vs. Inter Miami (Sunday, 12.30am)
Seeking to avoid a third successive MLS game without a win, Philadelphia Union play host to Eastern Conference basement club Inter Miami at Subaru Park on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are experiencing a torrid run of form as they are hoping to end a six-game losing streak.
We say: Philadelphia Union 2-0 Inter Miami
Inter Miami can draw optimism from their victory over Philadelphia earlier this season, but keeping the ball out of the net has been one of the main factors behind their downfall since then, and they may struggle to cope with a lethal Union attack, which has scored in 10 of the last 11 games, on Sunday.

Austin vs. Houston (Sunday, 1.30am)
Austin FC seek back-to-back wins in MLS when they welcome in-form Houston Dynamo to the Q2 Stadium on Saturday night.
The Oaks ended a two-game losing run with a victory over FC Dallas in the midweek round of games, while Houston secured a 4-1 triumph against San Jose Earthquakes.
We say: Austin FC 2-1 Houston Dynamo
Houston Dynamo have defeated Austin twice this year, but this weekend's game is at the Q2 Stadium — where the Oaks have beaten Houston in the last two games played in 2021 and 2022 — and not the Shell Energy Stadium, possibly giving the home side the edge.
Houston's poor road form does not help their cause, and it is hard to look beyond a side that have claimed three wins in four on their turf heading into this weekend.

Kansas vs. Chicago Fire (Sunday, 1.30am)
Sporting Kansas City seek their first MLS victory in three games when they welcome Chicago Fire to Children's Mercy Park on Sunday.
Peter Vermes's team played out a 2-2 draw with LA Galaxy last time out, while the away side secured a 2-1 success at Portland Timbers to end an extended run without losing.
We say: Sporting Kansas City 2-1 Chicago Fire
With goals aplenty in Sporting KC's recent games, a goal-laden affair could be in the offing this weekend at Children's Mercy Park, with the home side nicking the three points in front of their fans.

Colorado vs. LA Galaxy (Sunday, 2.30am)
The bottom two teams in the MLS' Western Conference go head-to-head when Colorado Rapids host Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday.
The visitors are one point ahead of Colorado, having played one match fewer than them, with time running out for both sides to make up ground on the play-off positions.
We say: Colorado Rapids 1-2 Los Angeles Galaxy
Colorado's form has been desperately poor of late, whereas LA Galaxy have been scoring more freely and picking up more points, so we expect the visitors to claim a crucial victory.
Whether Vanney's side have left it too late in terms of making the play-off spots remains to be seen, but we can envisage them going on a run at some point during the remainder of the campaign.

Salt Lake vs. Minnesota Utd (Sunday, 2.30am)
Real Salt Lake will be aiming to consolidate their position inside the Western Conference playoff qualification spots with a positive result against Minnesota United on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, lie six points adrift of their forthcoming opponents, but they do possess two games in hand on them.
We say: Real Salt Lake 2-1 Minnesota United
Minnesota's form has significantly dipped in recent weeks, leaving them with plenty of work to do in terms of making the playoff spots, and we can envisage Salt Lake putting further distance between the two sides with a victory.
The hosts were impressive last time out when beating St Louis, who had began the match top of the Western Conference table, and will expect to kick on across the coming weeks.

Los Angeles vs. Vancouver (Sunday, 3.30am)
The Vancouver Whitecaps will have another opportunity to claim their first road victory of the 2023 MLS campaign when they battle Los Angeles FC on Saturday at BMO Stadium.
On Wednesday, the Black and Gold moved back into first place in the Western Conference thanks to a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders, while the Caps' match versus the Colorado Rapids was postponed because of thunderstorms in the area.
We say: Los Angeles FC 3-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
Throughout the 2023 campaign, the Caps have had no answer when facing the high-octane LAFC offence, as they seem intimidated by the physicality and quality of the Black and Gold.

Portland vs. NY City (Sunday, 3.30am)
In a rematch of the 2021 MLS Cup final, the Portland Timbers wrap up their two-game homestand with a date against New York City FC at Providence Park on Saturday.
The Pigeons were moments away from ending a 10-match winless run in all competitions before conceding deep into stoppage time, drawing Atlanta United 2-2, while the Timbers suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire on Wednesday.
We say: Portland Timbers 1-1 New York City FC
Sometimes momentum or a bad break can make all the difference, and New York have not had a lot go their way of late as they continuously seem to find ways to drop points.

Earthquakes vs. St Louis City (Sunday, 3.30am)
Two teams in contention for top spot in the MLS Western Conference meet on Saturday, as San Jose Earthquakes host St Louis City.
Ahead of the teams' clash at PayPal Park, Quakes sit just two points behind their visitors, who occupy second place in the standings.
We say: San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 St Louis City
Exacting revenge for a three-goal defeat in March, San Jose can continue their unbeaten streak at home by beating an ailing St Louis side. The visitors are suffering a worrying dip in form, and due to a worsening defensive record their slip down the standings could continue.

Seattle vs. Orlando City (Sunday, 3.30am)
After missing out on top spot in the MLS Western Conference due to a midweek defeat, Seattle Sounders aim to bounce back on Saturday when they host Orlando City, who occupy a playoff spot in the East.
Now sitting third in the standings, Sounders return to Lumen Field, where they have conceded only five goals in their first 10 home matches.
We say: Seattle Sounders 1-1 Orlando City
Orlando have lost only two of their eight road games so far, and there is no doubt they know how to find the net away from home - they have scored nine times in their last four trips outside Florida. As Seattle are enduring their stickiest patch of the season, a draw may be the best they can hope for from such a challenging contest.
