New England team news and form: Porter’s boys at the bottom

Nashville team news and form: Lackluster stuff by Nashville

Player to watch: Bobby Wood
We believe that having Bobby Wood as the player to watch in our New England vs Nashville prediction is the right call. He will be the most interesting man to watch in the Group 5 game between the two teams, as he just recently scored a goal for his manager in MLS.
Second player to watch: Hany Mukhtar
Seeing as the visitors’ manager won’t be able to count on key player Walker Zimmerman, we believe it’s up to Mukhtar to step up. Sure, the German attacking midfielder is playing higher up the pitch, but he is still one of Nashville’s leaders and could cause mayhem on the 7th of August.
