Saturday's Major League Soccer predictions including LA Galaxy vs. Real Salt Lake

Nashville vs. New England (Sunday, 1.30am)

The New England Revolution can improve their playoff positioning when they head to Geodis Park for a matchup with Nashville SC on Saturday.

Both sides have already secured their place in the MLS Cup playoffs, with Nashville currently seventh in the Eastern Conference following a 0-0 draw with the Philadelphia Union last weekend, while the Revs fell short against Orlando City, losing 3-2 to move into fifth place.

We say: Nashville SC 1-0 New England Revolution

The one thing Nashville have always known how to do well is defend, and for as poor as they have been in front of goal, the Boys in Gold have been airtight defensively at home.

The Revs have failed to score in three of their five encounters with Nashville, scoring only once in two previous visits to the Music City, and we expect them to have a tough time getting through the home team's backline on Saturday.

Dallas vs. Colorado (Sunday, 1.30am)

Dallas can secure their spot in the MLS Cup playoffs for a second successive campaign with a victory on Saturday at Toyota Stadium versus the Colorado Rapids.

Last weekend, the Toros overcame an early deficit, managing to claim a 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes, putting them a point above Sporting Kansas City for the final playoff spot in the West, while Colorado saw a two-match domestic unbeaten run end, losing 5-1 against the Houston Dynamo.

We say: Dallas 1-0 Colorado Rapids

A backline as well-organised as the Toros should not have difficulty containing a Rapids attack who have not created much during the run of play but have given up plenty of opportunities away from home in the attacking third.

LA Galaxy vs. Salt Lake (Sunday, 3.30am)

Los Angeles Galaxy will be aiming to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat when they welcome Real Salt Lake to Dignity Health Sports Park on Monday.

The away side, meanwhile, make the journey to California aiming to get back to winning ways off the back of an embarrassing loss last time out.

We say: Los Angeles Galaxy 2-1 Real Salt Lake

The last two meetings between Monday's opponents have yielded 10 goals combined and we are anticipating another action-packed contest here. That said, we are tipping the home side to emerge triumphant come the sound of the full-time whistle.
