The best team in the Eastern Conference will head out on the road on Saturday, as the boys from Music City travel to take on the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park. While the visitors will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of the tree, the hosts will be hoping to bounce back. The Union had appeared to be moving forward, avoiding defeat in three successive games, but they dropped off last time out, losing by two goals to zero away against the Columbus Crew.
Final-third issues continue to plague the hosts, who just don't look that threatening, and even when they do create, more often than not, they're displaying a serious lack of end-product. The same cannot be said for the visitors, and that's key. With someone like the hugely clinical Sam Surridge up top, the men in yellow know how to outscore their opponents, and it's worth betting that they do just that against a weak Philly unit.

Our Philadelphia Union vs Nashville SC Prediction
This may be a road game, but it still looks like a fantastic opportunity for the Eastern Conference leaders to continue rolling out in front. Dean Smith's men have ben fantastic in recent weeks, defending stoutly, preventing teams from creating, before getting the job done offensively, thanks to the likes of Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge, who remain two of the best offensive weapons in Major League Soccer.
In contrast, the hosts have struggled, and they're finding it very tough to score goals, which does not bode well against one of the most organized teams in the division. All in all, the visitors look much stronger than their hosts, so much so that they could be shorter in the betting. Really, they could be +125 to win this. Therefore, opting for the visiting win at odds of +180 offers clear value for money.
