CF Montreal will be looking to end their run of four consecutive MLS matches when they journey to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face Atlanta United on Sunday morning.
The Five Stripes are currently unbeaten in each of their last five home games against Hernan Losada's men and will head into the weekend looking to extend this impressive run.
We say: Atlanta United 2-1 CF Montreal
Atlanta United and Montreal dropped points in their last outings and will head into the weekend in search of a morale-boosting result. The Five Stripes' home record in this fixture makes them firm favourites to come out on top and are tipping them to edge out Losada's side once again.

FC Cincinnati host Wild Card hopefuls Charlotte FC in Saturday's MLS action at TQL Stadium.
The home side lead the Eastern Conference and overall table despite their recent wobble, while the Crown could do with victories with the regular season winding down to qualify for the post-season playoffs.
We say: FC Cincinnati 2-1 Charlotte FC
Despite a significant dip in results, Cincinnati's home form stayed consistent before losing 1-0 to Orlando before the start of the month.
Be that as it may, the hosts are favourites to prove their first home loss of the season was an anomaly against a Charlotte side without an away victory in four months.

DC United vs. NY Red Bulls (Sunday, 12.30am)

Seeking to snap their run of five consecutive games without a win, New York Red Bulls take a trip to Audi Field to square off against DC United on Sunday morning.
The Black-and-Red will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visiting side, having failed to win any of their last seven meetings since October 2021.
We say: DC United 1-1 New York Red Bulls
Having dropped important points in their quest for a playoff spot in recent weeks, Sunday's game offers DC United and New York Red Bulls an opportunity to find their feet. The Red Bulls have struggled to grind out results on the road and we predict Rooney's side will hold out for another share of the spoils.

NY City vs. Toronto (Sunday, 12.30am)

New York City FC will be looking to pick up successive wins for the first time since April when they play host to Toronto at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday morning.
The Reds, who are currently rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference table, have failed to win any of their 19 away matches since August 2022 and will head into the weekend seeking to end this dire run.
We say: New York City FC 2-0 Toronto
New York City have hit their stride in recent weeks and will be licking their lips as they take on an out-of-sorts Toronto side who have lost 12 of their last 13 matches. The Pigeons picked up an emphatic 5-0 victory when they met in the Leagues Cup back in July and we are backing them to come out on top once again.

The action continued in Major League soccer this weekend as Philadelphia Union and Los Angeles FC go head to head at Subaru Park on Sunday morning.
The Black and Gold head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last seven games against the home side since July 2018 and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
We say: Philadelphia Union 2-1 Los Angeles FC
Following their impressive comeback against Charlotte, Philadelphia Union return home where they have lost just once across all competitions since the start of April. Los Angeles' form on the road is currently nothing to write home about and we fancy the Union ending their winless run in this fixture.

Chicago Fire vs. New England (Sunday, 1.30am)

Chicago Fire FC return to MLS action on Saturday night when they take on New England Revolution at Soldier Field.
The Wild Card hopefuls are out of form and require a turnaround in the regular season's concluding weeks, while the Revs are nearly assured a place in the post-season elimination games.
We say: Chicago Fire 2-1 New England Revolution
New England are winless on their travels in MLS since early May, losing five from nine road games, and that run could become six losses in 10 against a Fire outfit capable of conjuring the odd result at Soldier Field.

Dallas vs. Columbus Crew (Sunday, 1.30am)

Fresh from a stellar away performance, Dallas will be looking to record back-to-back victories when they welcome high-scorers Columbus Crew to Toyota Stadium on Saturday night in MLS.
The Toros earned maximum points thanks to a brilliant second-half showing at Real Salt Lake on Wednesday night, while Columbus won comfortably at home against Chicago Fire to clinch a playoff berth.
We say: Dallas 1-2 Columbus Crew
Dallas gave their playoff ambitions a massive boost with a stunning win at Salt Lake on Wednesday, but the visit of free-scoring Columbus to Toyota Stadium will be a much sterner test.
The Crew have their place in the playoffs secured but should still have the motivation required to record back-to-back maximums by seeing off the Toros on Saturday night.

Kansas vs. Houston (Sunday, 1.30am)

Sporting Kansas City will be looking to keep their playoff charge on track when they welcome an in-form Houston Dynamo side to Children's Mercy Park on Saturday night in MLS.
The hosts suffered a huge blow to their top-nine ambitions on Wednesday night after falling to defeat against Nashville SC, while Houston easily saw off Vancouver Whitecaps on home soil.
We say: Sporting Kansas City 1-3 Houston Dynamo
Sporting KC may feel that their playoff dreams faded slightly as they fell to defeat against Nashville on Wednesday, making Saturday's clash against Houston one they must earn a result from.
The Dynamo are in scintillating form and will be confident of extending their unbeaten run to eight matches with a convincing win at Children's Mercy Park on the weekend.

Minnesota Utd vs. St Louis City (Sunday, 1.30am)

Minnesota United will be looking to keep their playoff dreams alive when they welcome Western Conference leaders St Louis City to Allianz Field on Saturday night in MLS.
The Loons squandered a two-goal lead on Wednesday against LA Galaxy to leave their top-nine hopes in the balance, whilst St Louis became the first side to clinch a playoff space, sharing the spoils with Los Angeles FC.
We say: Minnesota United 1-3 St Louis City
Minnesota boss Heath has highlighted his side's final three home matches as crucial games in deciding their regular-season fate, but a clash with the Western Conference leaders is set to be very challenging.
St Louis will have a weight off their shoulders after officially clinching their place in the playoffs last time out, and we believe this extra freedom will help Carnell's men earn their first maximum of September.

Salt Lake vs. Vancouver (Sunday, 2.30am)

Real Salt Lake will be looking to avoid a third defeat on the bounce when they welcome Vancouver Whitecaps to the America First Field on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be aiming to return to winning ways having recently suffered a first defeat in five league matches last time out.
We say: Real Salt Lake 2-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
Neither team is short of attacking firepower heading into this one, and we are anticipating a highly entertaining affair. We can also see Real Salt Lake making home advantage count by coming out on top, albeit by only a narrow margin.

Portland vs. Colorado (Sunday, 3.30am)

Securing a fourth straight win will be the objective for Portland Timbers when they play host to Colorado Rapids at the Providence Park on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the away side make the trip to Oregon aiming to end a barren run of form which has seen them lose six of their last seven matches across all competitions.
We say: Portland Timbers 3-1 Colorado Rapids
Colorado Rapids have been abysmal away from home all-season long, and it is hard to see them coming away from this one with a positive result. We are tipping Portland Timbers to run out comfortable winners come the end of the 90 minutes.

Earthquakes vs. Nashville (Sunday, 3.30am)
© Reuters
The latest round of matches in the 2023 Major League Soccer season sees San Jose Earthquakes entertain the challenge of Nashville SC at PayPal Park on Sunday.
Both teams are firmly in contention for a place in the playoffs, meaning neither will want to come away empty-handed from this weekend's encounter.
We say: San Jose Earthquakes 1-2 Nashville SC
The sides boast similar attacking records heading into this one, but Nashville have been the better team defensively and consequently, we fancy them to emerge triumphant from what should be an open and end-to-end contest.
