We’re into the last few games in the 2023 MLS regular season with third-place Philadelphia Union hosting seventh-place Nashville SC for this Eastern Conference clash. Philadelphia topped the East last season and came within minutes of lifting the MLS Cup. They’ve put together another solid regular season this time out, although perhaps not looking quite as dominant as the previous campaign. However, the main ingredients are still there for a serious run at the MLS Cup. Philadelphia finally put an end to a lengthy streak of draws in their last performance with a 3-2 home win over Atlanta. Jim Curtain’s side had previously drawn five in a row as they Union now ride a seven game unbeaten run following the victory. The hosts will now look to make it two in a row at Subaru Park where they have been fantastic all season. Philly have recorded 10 wins, five draws and only a single defeat on home soil.

Nashville have hit a rough stretch of form to end the MLS regular season. Previously fighting for fifth and fourth-place, the Boys in Gold now find themselves firmly in seventh-place. They sit five points ahead of eighth-place Chicago and a spot that would drop them down into the new Wild Card play-in match. Nashville have a game in hand advantage over Chicago as well as Atlanta in sixth-place who they trail by four points. That means they could potentially cut the lead to just a point with two matches left in the fixture list with a win. While Nashville made a strong run to the Leagues Cup final, their league form has been worrying. They’ve now managed just a single victory in their last 10 MLS fixtures. Gary Smith’s side have also stalled on the attacking side of the ball and have now failed to find the net in back-to-back games. In their last 10 MLS matches, Nashville have failed to score in six.
