Player to watch: Duncan McGuire
We expect to see a goal from McGuire as he is undoubtedly one of the key performers for coach Oscar Pareja. He even took part in the Summer Olympics, representing the USMNT. With seven goals to his name in the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, we believe we are right to single out McGuire in our top Orlando City vs Nashville predictions.
Second player to watch: Walker Zimmerman
Zimmerman, similar to McGuire, also played in France during this summer. Both of them did well and seeing as Zimmerman is the key man at the back, we are convinced he will be among the starters for his manager.
