Two teams enjoying similar veins of form will lock horns on Saturday as Charlotte FC welcome Nashville SC to the Bank of America Stadium.
The hosts will be seeking to make it five successive victories across all competitions, and the visitors are looking to extend their unbeaten run to eight games.
We say: Charlotte FC 1-0 Nashville SC
Both teams come into this match in excellent form, so there is not a great deal to split the sides.
However, we think that the hosts will edge this contest considering they have won their last five at home across all competitions, while Nashville have only won once on the road all season.

FC Cincinnati will be seeking to extend their lead at the top of the Eastern Conference when they welcome Columbus Crew to the TQL Stadium on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, currently sit fifth in the same conference, nine points adrift of their opponents this weekend.
We say: FC Cincinnati 2-0 Columbus Crew
Cincinnati are in brilliant form, and although Columbus have done well to snap their winless streak, we think the Orange and Blue will be tough to stop here, so we are siding with a home victory.

DC United vs. LA Galaxy (Sunday, 12.30am)

DC United take on Los Angeles Galaxy at Audi Field on Saturday evening, in the latest round of MLS fixtures.
The hosts are eighth in the Eastern Conference after a solid but unspectacular start, while the visitors are bottom of the Western Conference.
We say: DC United 3-0 Los Angeles Galaxy
Although DC United have not looked great at home, they are now unbeaten in their last two, while Los Angeles Galaxy are yet to win an away match and looked particularly poor in the 2-0 defeat against Columbus Crew last time out.
As such, we expect the Black & Red to emerge as comfortable winners on Saturday night.

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

Orlando City will be looking to bring a three-game winless run in the MLS to an end when they travel to the DRV PNK Stadium to take on Inter Miami on Saturday evening.
Both sides are currently outside the playoffs in the Eastern Conference, with the hosts in 11th place and the visitors one place higher, currently sitting in 10th.
We say: Inter Miami 2-1 Orlando City
Just one point separates Inter Miami and Orlando in the MLS table, indicating they are very evenly-matches sides, but we expect the hosts to emerge with a narrow victory.
The Herons have won their last three games at the DRV PNK Stadium, the most recent of which coming against a very strong New England Revolution side, so they should have enough about them to take all three points on Saturday.

NY Red Bulls vs. Montreal (Sunday, 12.30am)

Unbeaten in their last three matches in all competitions, the New York Red Bulls return to MLS action on Saturday for their first game against CF Montreal at Red Bull Arena this year.
Under new manager Troy Lesesne, the Red Bulls have yet to lose but are still second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference following a 0-0 draw at Toronto, while Montreal saw their six-game winning run in all competitions end, losing 3-0 on Wednesday to FC Cincinnati.
We say: New York Red Bulls 2-0 CF Montreal
The Red Bulls appear to be back to their old selves defensively, and although they still have work to do in the attacking third, we expect them to get a big boost from the return of numerous players who were missing earlier this week.
It has been a Jekyll and Hyde season for Le CFM, and they could find it difficult to penetrate a Red Bulls team who look reinvigorated defensively since changing coaches.

Philadelphia vs. New England (Sunday, 12.30am)
© Reuters
After consecutive games without a loss Philadelphia Union will be pushing to continue their run of form on Sunday when they host New England Revolution.
The visitors are currently sat second in the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference, but they head into this match after two games without a win.
We say: Philadelphia Union 1-0 New England Revolution
Philadelphia Union might be the underdogs heading into this match, but their recent form overall is something that could give them the edge in this one.

Austin vs. Toronto (Sunday, 1.30am)

For the first time in the Major League Soccer regular season, Toronto will head to the capital of Texas on Saturday for a date with Austin FC at Q2 Stadium.
Earlier this week, the Verde and Black defeated the Western Conference-leading Seattle Sounders 2-1, ending an eight-match winless run, while the Reds have failed to win their last four matches in all competitions, drawing the New York Red Bulls 0-0 on Wednesday.
We say: Austin FC 1-0 Toronto
The Verde and Black should feel pretty confident following their victory on Wednesday, and given all the uncertainty in Toronto at the moment, not just with their form but the health of multiple key players, it is hard to envision the Reds miraculously turn things around so quickly.

Chicago Fire vs. Atlanta (Sunday, 1.30am)

Having seen their run of two consecutive victories come to an end last time out, Chicago Fire will be targeting an immediate return to winning ways when they welcome Atlanta United to Soldier Field on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the away side set out to record back to back wins for the first time in two months off the back of snapping a four-game losing streak across all competitions.
We say: Chicago Fire 2-1 Atlanta United
With the two most porous teams in the MLS going head-to-head, we are anticipating an exciting affair and goals at both ends. That said, we just about fancy Chicago Fire to come out on top in the end.

Dallas vs. Houston (Sunday, 1.30am)

A third consecutive win will be the target for Dallas as they welcome Houston Dynamo to the Toyota Stadium on Sunday in round 14 of the 2022-23 MLS season.
On the other hand, the visitors make the journey this weekend aiming to snap a two-game losing streak and get their league campaign back on track.
We say: Dallas 2-0 Houston Dynamo
Given Dallas' impressive home record and Houston' woeful record on the road, it is hard to envisage any other outcome than a win for the hosts. We are tipping the home team to claim all three points in a relatively comfortable manner.

Colorado vs. Salt Lake (Sunday, 2.30am)
© Reuters
Two sides enduring poor form meet in MLS on Saturday night when Colorado Rapids host Real Salt Lake.
Both sides are currently outside the playoff spots in the Western Conference after underwhelming starts.
We say: Colorado Rapids 1-1 Real Salt Lake
Two of MLS's lowest scorers are unlikely to serve up a classic, and their lack of form means neither will be very confident of a win here.
After two draws between the sides last season, a repeat looks like the most probable outcome in Colorado this weekend.

St Louis City vs. Kansas (Sunday, 2.30am)
© Reuters
St Louis City will play four of their next five matches of the MLS campaign at CityPark, beginning on Saturday when they take on Sporting Kansas City.
The newest club to Major League Soccer have fallen on hard times, losing 1-0 to the Chicago Fire last weekend, their third league fixture without a win, while SKC have points in three straight domestic outings, drawing Los Angeles FC 1-1 on Wednesday.
We say: St Louis City 1-2 Sporting Kansas City
They still have a long way to go, but with the SKC core group getting healthier, their experience against adversity has temporarily turned around their season, and for now, it does not appear as though St Louis know how to fix their woeful form.

Los Angeles vs. Earthquakes (Sunday, 3.30am)

Los Angeles FC could move top of the MLS Western Conference table by beating San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, head into the encounter only four points behind their forthcoming opponents, although Los Angeles do possess a game in hand.
We say: Los Angeles FC 3-1 San Jose Earthquakes
Although San Jose have performed above expectations under their new manager, we expect Los Angeles to have too much individual quality for them this weekend.
The MLS Cup holders will be highly motivated by the possibility of heading towards the top of the Western Conference table with a victory, especially having failed to win their last league game.

Portland vs. Minnesota Utd (Sunday, 3.30am)

Portland Timbers will attempt to extend their unbeaten streak in Major League Soccer to five matches when they face Minnesota United at Providence Park on Sunday.
The visitors snapped a six-game winless run last time out and will be looking to claim their fourth away victory of the campaign this weekend.
We say: Portland Timbers 1-1 Minnesota United
Portland come into this match as the side in better form, but Minnesota have one of the better away records in the division.
Therefore, we think this will be a closely-fought contest with the sides sharing the spoils.

Vancouver vs. Seattle (Sunday, 3.30am)
© Reuters
After an unsuccessful road trip, the Vancouver Whitecaps return to BC Place Stadium on Saturday for a Cascadia Cup clash with their arch-rivals, the Seattle Sounders.
On Wednesday, the Caps were beaten 2-1 at Dallas, dropping them down to ninth in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer, while the Rave Green suffered the same fate at home to Austin FC but are still leading the conference with 23 points.
We say: Vancouver Whitecaps 1-1 Seattle Sounders
The Sounders always seem to bounce back after a tough outing and have not lost consecutive matches all year, though they have not been quite as sharp over the past couple of weeks.
Vancouver are at their best when playing at home and have not lost to a playoff team under the dome throughout the 2023 MLS campaign.
