Vancouver vs. Toronto (Sunday, 9.00pm)

The second all-Canadian matchup of this Major League Soccer campaign will feature the Vancouver Whitecaps hosting Toronto on Sunday at BC Place Stadium.
TFC have dropped their last three fixtures domestically, losing 2-0 to FC Cincinnati on Wednesday, while the Caps are bottom of the league with only four points after eight fixtures.
We say: Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 Toronto
It is no secret that the Caps have drastically underperformed to this point of the campaign, but they look much more dangerous on the artificial turf of BC Place.
We expect that the new faces in Vancouver will provide them with a much-needed boost against a TFC side who are coming off a short week and struggling to keep the ball out of their goal.

Nashville SC will put a 19-match unbeaten run in the Music City on the line this weekend as they host Real Salt Lake at GEODIS Park on Sunday.
In their first encounter at their new 30,000 seat venue, a capacity crowd saw the Boys in Gold equalise with a late penalty, drawing the Philadelphia Union 1-1, while RSL ended a five-match winless run in Major League Soccer by edging the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0.
We say: Nashville SC 1-0 Real Salt Lake
RSL won the opening fixture between these sides in 2022 (2-1), but this is a different Nashville team who seem to be finding their footing, and when they are on, they are one of the most challenging sides to penetrate.
Claret and Cobalt have failed to score in four road fixtures this year and are still lacking a creative presence in the middle of the field.

Austin vs. LA Galaxy (Monday, 12.00am)

The Los Angeles Galaxy begin their Texas road trip on Sunday when they take on Austin FC at Q2 Stadium for the first time this season.
Austin are the second-best team in Major League Soccer, sitting two points behind Los Angeles FC in the Western Conference, while the Galaxy trail the Verde and Black by four points after dropping a 1-0 decision to Real Salt Lake last weekend.
We say: Austin FC 1-1 Los Angeles Galaxy
It should be a fascinating contest between the top attacking unit in the league (Austin) and the second-best defensive side in MLS (LA).
