Columbus Crew will be looking to pick up a fourth home win on the bounce when they welcome Philadelphia Union to Lower.com Field on Sunday morning.
The Union head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last six games against the home side and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
We say: Columbus Crew 2-1 Philadelphia Union
Columbus Crew's home ground has been a fortress this year and they will be backing themselves to return to winning ways this weekend. Philadelphia Union appear to have run out of steam at the business end of the season and we fancy the hosts ending their winless run against Curtin's side.

Inter Miami vs. NY City (Sunday, 12.30am)

Inter Miami can tie a club record for their longest unbeaten run at home in MLS when they host New York City FC on Saturday at DRV PNK Stadium.
The Herons settled for a 1-1 draw with Orlando City in their previous domestic encounter, putting them five points behind the Pigeons for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, while the Boys in Blue climbed above the postseason line thanks to a 3-0 victory over Toronto.
We say: Inter Miami 2-1 New York City FC
Tata Martino has proven to be a resourceful manager who seems to find an approach that works with the players available, and if Messi and Alba cannot play, there are still plenty of attacking options for a Miami side who have excelled under the Argentine boss.
NYCFC have a lot of momentum on their side, but they are playing a team that will have a much greater sense of urgency than Orlando City and Toronto, and we expect the Pigeons to be hindered by a well-organised Miami defensive unit.

After securing their place in the postseason with a draw against Chicago Fire last weekend, New England Revolution will attempt to end a four-game winless run when they face Charlotte FC at Gillette Stadium on Saturday.
While the hosts are guaranteed a playoff spot, Charlotte are currently sitting in 13th place in the Eastern Conference with four points separating them from the top nine.
We say: New England Revolution 2-1 Charlotte FC
New England remain unbeaten on home turf this season, and having won their last two meetings with Charlotte, we think they will claim another victory on Saturday to continue their impressive home form.

As we enter the final stretch of the MLS season, the New York Red Bulls and Chicago Fire will look to stay in contention for a playoff spot when they meet at Red Bull Arena on Sunday morning.
The hosts are currently in 11th place in the Eastern Conference while the visitors are in 12th, and both sides are currently on 34 points, three behind New York City and the final playoff qualification spot.
We say: New York Red Bulls 1-0 Chicago Fire
While The Red Bulls have not been at their absolute best of late, their home form has been relatively good, especially against the sides in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference. Chicago Fire have been dreadful on the road of late, and we feel they may suffer another loss in this one.

Orlando City vs. Montreal (Sunday, 12.30am)

Orlando City will look to extend their unbeaten home run to 12 matches in all competitions when they welcome CF Montreal to Exploria Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be hoping to return to winning ways after picking up just two points from their previous five MLS matches.
We say: Orlando City 2-1 CF Montreal
Orlando have been in imperious form on home turf, and with Montreal winless in five matches, we think the hosts will make full use of home advantage to claim maximum points on Saturday.

Toronto vs. Cincinnati (Sunday, 12.30am)

FC Cincinnati can officially clinch the MLS Supporters' Shield title with a single point on Saturday at BMO Field when they face Toronto.
The Reds were eliminated from postseason contention due to a 3-0 defeat at New York City FC last weekend, while the Orange and Blue beat Charlotte FC by that same score, putting them nine points clear of St Louis City for first in the overall standings.
We say: Toronto 1-2 FC Cincinnati
Despite having clinched a playoff berth a long time ago, Noonan has managed to maintain a high level of intensity within this group and being a few games away from potentially making MLS history should keep them motivated this weekend.
Herdman is a wonderful motivator himself who seems to have the Midas touch with the national teams he has coached, but it will take more than his inspirational words to clean up Toronto's defensive frailties.

Fresh off the back of their cup triumph, Houston Dynamo resume Major League Soccer action on Sunday when they welcome Dallas to the Shell Energy Stadium.
The away side make the journey aiming to return to winning ways having had to make do with a share of the spoils in each of their last two matches.
We say: Houston Dynamo 3-1 Dallas
Houston Dynamo's solid defensive record on home turf has often provided them with the platform to come away with maximum points more often than not. We are tipping them to emerge triumphant in this one quite comfortably.

With just three matches left in the regular season, the Earthquake are currently eighth in the Western Conference standings, four points and three places above this weekend's hosts.
We say: Minnesota United 1-1 San Jose Earthquakes
With just three points separating Minnesota United and San Jose, we anticipate an action-packed contest at Allianz Field as both sides look to strengthen their stake for a playoff spot. Given the stakes of the game, we predict both sides will take a cautious approach to this one and settle for a share of the spoils.

Nashville SC will be seeking to guarantee their spot in the playoffs when they go head to head with Seattle Sounders at Geodis Park on Sunday morning.
Having lost both home and away meetings between the sides last year, the Sounders will look to get one over the hosts and pick up successive away wins for the first time since April.
We say: Nashville SC 1-1 Seattle Sounders
Nashville have struggled for consistency in recent weeks and will need to show their mettle against a well-drilled Seattle Sounders side who are unbeaten in their last five matches. The Sounders have been solid on the road this season and we see them holding out for a share of the spoils in this one.

Sporting Kansas City will be looking to move into the playoffs qualification places when they take a trip to City Park to lock horns with St. Louis City on Sunday morning.
Having only joined the MLS this year, Bradley Carnell's side currently hold an eight-point lead at the top of the Western Conference standings and will be looking to edge closer to a first-ever conference crown.
We say: St Louis City 2-1 Sporting Kansas City
Buoyed by their impressive performance against Minnesota, St Louis City will head into the weekend with renewed confidence as they look to finish the regular season strong. While Sporting Kansas have been solid at home, their form on the road is currently nothing to write home about and we see Carnell's side snatching all three points once again.

Two teams in dire need of a victory lock horns at the Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Sunday as Colorado Rapids await the visit of Austin FC.
The hosts have won just one of their last 11 matches, while the away side are without a win in 11 straight matches across all competitions.
We say: Colorado Rapids 2-2 Austin FC
With two of the league's leakiest defences going head-to-head, we are expecting a highly-entertaining affair. That said, we can also see the teams cancelling each other out and having to make do with honours even in the end.

On the other hand, the visiting team make the trip to Carson this weekend aiming to pick up a fifth consecutive Major League Soccer victory.
We say: Los Angeles Galaxy 2-1 Portland Timbers
Goals have been a real feature of this fixture of late, and we expect that trend to continue here. We are also tipping the home side to get the better of their visitors come the sound of the final whistle, albeit by only a narrow margin.

Vancouver vs. DC United (Sunday, 3.30am)
© Reuters
The latest round of matches in the 2023 Major League Soccer regular season sees Vancouver Whitecaps welcome DC United to BC Place on Sunday.
The home side are on a three-game winless streak ahead of this weekend's contest, while the visiting team are without a victory in four matches.
We say: Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 DC United
Neither team is in particularly good form heading into this one, and this weekend's contest could easily swing either way. However, we just about fancy Vancouver Whitecaps to make home advantage count and carry the day.
