NY Red Bulls vs. Philadelphia (Friday, 1.00am)
The New York Red Bulls will look to extend their unbeaten run to a season-long three games when they host the Philadelphia Union at Red Bull Arena on Thursday.
The Red Bulls scored a late goal against Orlando last weekend to win their first road game of 2021 2-1, while the Union conceded early versus Nashville SC and could not recover, losing 1-0.
We say: New York Red Bulls 2-1 Philadelphia Union
The Red Bulls have started to come together after a difficult opening two games of the regular season, and they are a tough team to beat when they play at Red Bull Arena.
Philadelphia always seem to respond well after a tough outing, but they have shown that they can be vulnerable lately at the back, and they will not be able to count on the MLS co-leader in saves, Andre Blake, who is on international duty at the Gold Cup.

Nashville vs. Atlanta (Friday, 1.30am)
Nashville SC will hope to remain undefeated at Nissan Stadium this year when they host Atlanta United on Thursday.
The Five Stripes are winless in their last six fixtures, while Nashville are unbeaten in their last three games, after a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
We say: Nashville SC 1-1 Atlanta United
Nashville have only won consecutive games once in their entire MLS history, and they have only won two of their eight matches this season versus teams who are currently outside of the playoff picture.
Atlanta are struggling to win games, but they have been able to get results against some top teams, including drawing the Seattle Sounders, the Philadelphia Union, the New York Red Bulls, and Nashville.
