REF’s picks

Nashville SC enter this clash as the newly crowned Supporters' Shield winners and boast formidable home form, making them a solid choice to take all three points. Philadelphia Union are missing key personnel such as Bruno Damiani through suspension, which blunts their attacking edge. However, the visitors remain dangerous on their day and could catch a celebratory home side off guard if defensive concentration slips.

1. 1Nashville boast an impressive 4W-1D-0L recent run with 13 goals scored, underlining their dominant momentum.
2. 2Philadelphia are forced into squad rotation due to injuries and suspensions like Bruno Damiani's ban.
3. 3The visitors possess dangerous goalscorers in Milan Iloski, meaning Nashville's backline cannot afford any complacency.
