In one of several MLS games Saturday night, the Philadelphia Union (5 wins, 2 losses, 4 draws) visit Nashville SC (3-1-6) at Nissan Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Philadelphia Union at Nashville SC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.
Philadelphia is coming off a 3-3 draw with the Chicago Fire. Prior to that match, the Union defeated the Columbus Crew 1-0. They’re likely to be without winger Alejandro Bedoya Saturday.
The Union haven’t lost since May 1 and are third in the Eastern Conference. Nashville SC is sixth in the East.
Nashville is a formidable opponent but hasn’t been able to obtain many results. The lone loss is impressive for a recently-developed club. Nashville looks to remain undefeated at home.

Prediction
Philadelphia Union 1, Nashville SC 1
Money line (ML)
“Lean” to the DRAW (+230) but heavily consider playing Philadelphia to win or a draw at -130. I don’t love either bet, but the Union have looked terrific this season.
They’ve only lost to New York City FC in a game they had a red card and Inter Miami in a game in which they were also preparing for a CONCACAF Champions League match just three days later.
They don’t lose often and haven’t lost on the road this season. At the same time, Nashville has been playing well of late. It has three wins and four draws without a home loss so far.

Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-115) as the Union will be without a key threat in Bedoya.
While they combined for 6 goals in their last outing with the Fire, the Union have had a relatively stable backline, giving up just 10 goals on the season.
Nashville is also solid in the back, giving up just 11 goals through 10 matches. If those trends continue, this will be a low-scoring game. The Under has hit in six of Nashville’s last eight matches.
