Atlanta vs. Columbus Crew (Sunday, 12.30am)
Atlanta United will be looking to make it three home wins on the bounce for the first time since April when they play host to Columbus Crew at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday evening.
With just two games to go before the end of the regular season, both sides have already secured a place in the playoffs and are ramping up preparations for post-season action.
We say: Atlanta United 1-1 Columbus Crew
Atlanta United and Columbus Crew have enjoyed a solid campaign and will be looking to build up some momentum ahead of the playoffs. The Crew are unbeaten in their last three games against Atlanta, picking up two wins and one draw, and given their current form, we fancy them holding out for a point in this one.

DC United vs. NY City (Sunday, 12.30am)
With their MLS season on the line, DC United will host New York City FC on Saturday at Audi Field in a must-win game for the Black and Red.
Earlier this week, DC suffered a 3-0 defeat at Austin FC, putting them a point back of the Eastern Conference playoff line heading into their final regular season encounter of 2023, while the Pigeons played Inter Miami to a 1-1 draw last weekend and are tied with CF Montreal on points but with three fewer victories in the race for the final postseason spot.
We say: DC United 0-2 New York City FC
The Black and Red have crumbled defensively at the most inopportune moment of the season, and having to rely on a keeper like Bono to save the day seems like a recipe for disaster, given his recent track record in MLS.

Inter Miami vs. Cincinnati (Sunday, 12.30am)
Inter Miami will attempt to keep their MLS playoff hopes alive when they welcome FC Cincinnati to the DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday.
While the hosts are languishing in 14th place in the Eastern Conference, the visitors have already wrapped up the Supporters' Shield.
We say: Inter Miami 1-2 FC Cincinnati
Inter Miami's busy schedule appears to have taken its toll on Martino's squad, and with the hosts expected to be without a number of key players, we think they will be edged out by the Supporters' Shield winners.

Montreal vs. Portland (Sunday, 12.30am)
CF Montreal will look to move a step closer to sealing a spot in the MLS playoffs when they play host to Portland Timbers on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will book their place in the post-season if they can claim maximum points at Stade Saputo.
We say: CF Montreal 1-1 Portland Timbers
Although Montreal have won their last two home meetings with Portland, the Timbers are unbeaten in seven MLS matches, and we think that they will continue that run by taking a point from Saturday's trip to Canada.

NY Red Bulls vs. Toronto (Sunday, 12.30am)
A 13-year MLS playoff streak may come to an end this weekend when the New York Red Bulls host Toronto at Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
Earlier this week New York kept their playoff hopes intact with a 2-1 victory over FC Cincinnati, while Toronto will miss the post-season for a third successive campaign after losing 3-0 at Charlotte FC, the fifth successive defeat for them in this competition.
We say: New York Red Bulls 2-0 Toronto
Returning to the post-season might be a stretch for New York this year but shutting down a side without much attacking depth should not be a problem for a defensive unit as well organised as the Red Bulls.

Orlando City vs. New England (Sunday, 12.30am)
Orlando City set out in search of a third consecutive MLS victory when they play host to New England Revolution at the Exploria Stadium on Saturday evening.
Clint Peay's men are unbeaten in each of their last nine games against the home side since June 2019 and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant run.
We say: Orlando City 2-0 New England Revolution
While Orlando City and New England Revolution have already secured post-season football, we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Exploria Stadium as both sides look to finish the regular season strong. The Lions have been near impenetrable at home in recent weeks and we fancy them coming out on top in this one.

Philadelphia vs. Nashville (Sunday, 12.30am)
Major League Soccer returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Philadelphia Union and Nashville SC go head to head at Subaru Park on Saturday evening.
The Boys In Gold will head into the weekend looking to find their feet and get one over the hosts, having failed to win any of the last six meetings between the sides since July 2021.
We say: Philadelphia Union 2-1 Nashville SC
Buoyed by their hard-earned victory over Atlanta United, Philadelphia Union will head into the weekend with sky-high confidence as they look to put together a fine run of form ahead of the playoffs. The Union take on a floundering Nashville side who have struggled for consistency of late and we see them prevailing in front of their home supporters.

Both teams returned to winning ways in their respective last outings and head into this weekend's encounter looking to pick up where they left off.
We say: Austin FC 2-2 Los Angeles FC
Austin FC and Los Angeles FC have both been more than capable in front of goal this term, and we are expecting the trend to continue here. We can also see the sides cancelling each other out en route to a share of the spoils come the end of the 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, the away side make the journey aiming to record consecutive wins for the first time since August, having returned to winning ways last time out.
We say: Chicago Fire 2-1 Charlotte FC
Both teams are still in with a chance of making the playoffs, and neither of them will need any added motivation to claim all three points here. That said, we are backing the home side to emerge triumphant by a narrow margin.

Dallas vs. Earthquakes (Sunday, 1.30am)
Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes will both be looking to end a three-game winless run in Sunday's meeting between the teams at the Toyota Stadium.
Both sides had to make do with draws in their respective most recent involvements, and they will now aim to go one better in this weekend's encounter.
We say: Dallas 2-1 San Jose Earthquakes
There is little separating the teams in terms of attacking prowess, but Dallas have been the much better team defensively and consequently, we are tipping them to emerge triumphant from what should be an open and end-to-end contest.

Houston vs. Colorado (Sunday, 1.30am)
In their penultimate game of the regular MSL season, Houston Dynamo play host to Colorado Rapids at the Shell Energy Stadium on Sunday morning.
The Orange Crush head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last seven home matches across all competitions and will maintain this fine run ahead of the playoffs.
We say: Houston Dynamo 2-1 Colorado Rapids
While Colorado Rapids have nothing to play for, Huston Dynamo will be looking to build momentum ahead of the start of post-season action. Despite the result, we are backing Olsen's men to take the positives from Thursday's draw against Montreal and claim all three points this weekend.

Minnesota Utd vs. LA Galaxy (Sunday, 1.30am)
Two struggling teams who could certainly do with a victory face off at Allianz Field on Sunday, as Minnesota United face off against Los Angeles Galaxy.
The home side are winless in their last seven matches, while the visitors boast just one win from seven games leading up to this weekend's contest.
We say: Minnesota United 2-1 Los Angeles Galaxy
Defensive deficiency has been the order of the day for both teams of late, meaning that a high-scoring affair is on the cards here. That said, we just about back Minnesota United to make home advantage count and come away with maximum points in the end.

Salt Lake vs. Kansas (Sunday, 2.30am)
Having already secured a place in this season's playoffs, Real Salt Lake welcome a top-nine chasing Sporting Kansas City to America Field First on Saturday night in MLS.
The hosts recorded a memorable win at Los Angeles FC last weekend which was ultimately enough to seal their spot in the post-season, whilst Sporting still have plenty of work to do after losing against St Louis City last time out.
We say: Real Salt Lake 1-1 Sporting Kansas City
Real Salt Lake already know their place in the playoffs is secured, but Mastroeni's men will not be resting on their laurels as they seek to seal home-field advantage in the post-season.
Sporting KC are running out of opportunities to string wins together this term, and we feel that the visitors at America First Field will only be good enough for a point.

Seattle vs. Vancouver (Sunday, 3.30am)
Seattle Sounders will be looking to consolidate second place in the MLS Western Conference when they welcome Vancouver Whitecaps to Lumen Field on Saturday night.
The two teams clinched an MLS Cup playoff spot on Wednesday, with Seattle snatching all three points late on against Los Angeles Galaxy as Vancouver cruised to victory against St Louis City.
We say: Seattle Sounders 2-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
At least three or more goals have been scored in seven of the last 10 meetings between these two teams and plenty of goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch is to be expected on Sunday.
Vancouver have won two of their last three encounters with Seattle, but we believe that the Rave Green will do enough to claim maximum points on home soil.
