Nashville team news and form: Injury issues burden the coach
B.J. Callaghan won’t be able to count on Tyler Boyd’s services due to his injury status. Unfortunately, that’s not the only injured player he has to find a substitute for. Lucas MacNaughton is also not fit and will miss the game against DC.
Predicted lineup: Willis (GK), Maher, Zimmerman, Moore, Lovitz, Anunga, Godoy, Muyl, Surridge, Mukhtar & Bunbury

Player to watch: Christian Benteke
If you follow MLS, you are already familiar with Benteke. DC United’s team captain is the leading goalscorer in the league, with a massive 19 goals bagged since the start of the campaign. He has a comfy two-goal lead on the 2nd-best finisher this season, but the game against Nashville is surely a good opportunity for him to extend his lead at the top.
Second player to watch: Gabriel Pirani
For comparison, Pirani only has four goals to his name. We trust he will also make an appearance at GEODIS Park, which is surely another plus in favor of our Nashville vs DC United prediction.
