Player to watch: Hany Mukhtar
If anyone has a chance of disproving our Philadelphia Union vs Nashville predictions, it’s probably Mukhtar. The German attacking midfielder has been one of the key finishers in MLS throughout the last couple of seasons and we expect him to start in the game at Subaru Park.
Second player to watch: Daniel Gazdag
Lastly, we have Gazdag of Philadelphia Union. The Hungarian attacking midfielder enjoyed some minutes during the Euro 2024, but he is back in business in MLS and we can’t wait to see him perform.
