Charlotte FC are seeking to make it five consecutive games unbeaten at home across all competitions when they welcome New York City FC to the Bank of America Stadium on Sunday.
The hosts are currently 14th in the Eastern Conference, picking up nine points from 10 games, while their opponents are in fifth place, amassing 15 points from the same number of games played.
We say: Charlotte FC 1-1 New York City FC
Charlotte looked to have turned a corner in recent weeks, especially at home, so we think they will hold their own here against a New York City side that have struggled on the road all season.

Two in-form teams will lock horns on Sunday hoping to pick up where they left off as FC Cincinnati host DC United at the TQL Stadium.
The hosts are seeking to make it four games unbeaten across all competitions, while the visitors are targeting their fifth win on the bounce.
We say: FC Cincinnati 2-1 DC United
Both teams are in good form, so we expect this to be an entertaining contest.
However, Cincinnati are yet to drop points at home, so we think they will make home advantage count and emerge triumphant.

Inter Miami vs. Atlanta (Sunday, 12.30am)

Inter Miami take on Atlanta United at the DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday evening, in the latest round of MLS fixtures.
The hosts are 12th in the Eastern Conference, after a slow start to the season, while the visitors are faring well, currently sitting up in third place.
We say: Inter Miami 2-2 Atlanta United
Inter Miami's form has picked up as of late, while Atlanta United's has dropped off, so we think the most likely result is a draw.
Games involving Atlanta have generally included a lot of goals, so it would not be a surprise if it is an end-to-end encounter, with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

Montreal vs. Orlando City (Sunday, 12.30am)
© Reuters
A surging CF Montreal side return to Saputo Stadium with a chance to close the gap in the Eastern Conference playoff picture when they battle Orlando City on Saturday.
Le CFM have won back-to-back MLS fixtures, capturing their first road triumph of the campaign last week, 2-0 at Sporting Kansas City, while the Lions won for only the second time at home this season, blanking the Los Angeles Galaxy by that same score.
We say: CF Montreal 1-0 Orlando City
Because of injuries, numerous Montreal youngsters have been pushed into the spotlight earlier than expected, though they seem to be gelling as a group, while not allowing much space in behind their defence.
Orlando have been a better road team in 2023, but they have not been very consistent from one game to the next, while they have been average at best in the attacking third this season.

NY Red Bulls vs. Philadelphia (Sunday, 12.30am)
© Reuters
New York Red Bulls will be looking to kickstart their MLS season when they take on Philadelphia Union at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday evening.
After a very slow start, the hosts are bottom of the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are faring slightly better, and they are up in 10th place.
We say: New York Red Bulls 1-1 Philadelphia Union
New York Red Bulls have developed a habit of drawing far too many games, while Philadelphia Union have been particularly disappointing on their travels this season, still yet to pick up an away win in any competition.
With both sides struggling to put a solid run of form together, the most likely outcome on Saturday is a draw.

Earthquakes vs. Los Angeles (Sunday, 12.30am)

Los Angeles FC will be hoping to preserve their unbeaten status when they travel to Levi's Stadium on Saturday evening to face San Jose Earthquakes in MLS.
The Quakes have only started the season well and sit inside the top five of the Western Conference, while LAFC are still unbeaten after eight matches.
We say: San Jose Earthquakes 0-1 Los Angeles FC
San Jose Earthquakes have struggled in recent matches and now face an LAFC side who are coming off the back of reaching the CONCACAF Champions League final.
The visitors will be fully confident of extending their unbeaten league run to nine matches, and we see them doing just that at Levi's Stadium on Saturday.

Toronto vs. New England (Sunday, 12.30am)
© Reuters
Toronto can win back-to-back MLS games for the first time all year when they begin the month of May by welcoming the Eastern Conference leading New England Revolution to BMO Field on Saturday.
Last weekend, the Reds remained unbeaten at home this season thanks to a 1-0 triumph versus New York City FC, while the Revs came back to draw FC Cincinnati 1-1.
We say: Toronto 1-1 New England Revolution
TFC should carry plenty of momentum into this encounter, as should the Revs, and though there is an eight-point difference between these sides, New England have not been quite as strong defensively away from home, allowing six of their nine goals on the road, and without Borrero their scoring quality could suffer a setback.

Dallas vs. St Louis City (Sunday, 1.30am)
© Reuters
St Louis City will pay their first-ever visit to Toyota Stadium on Saturday with a chance to reclaim the top spot in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer when they take on Dallas.
On matchday 10, the Toros could only manage a 0-0 draw with Minnesota United, while St Louis are winless in three successive road fixtures, narrowly losing 2-1 last Saturday at the Portland Timbers.
We say: Dallas 1-0 St Louis City
We saw a significant drop in intensity from St Louis without Klauss last weekend, and although this is still a talented group, we do not expect them to create much against a Toros unit that have looked much more compact of late at home.

Houston vs. Salt Lake (Sunday, 1.30am)

Houston Dynamo will be looking to record a third-straight victory in all competitions when they welcome Real Salt Lake to Shell Energy Stadium in MLS on Saturday evening.
Dynamo had cup success in their last outing, while Salt Lake played out a goalless draw with Seattle Sounders at America First Field in the league.
We say: Houston Dynamo 1-0 Real Salt Lake
Houston have hit their stride over the past month and will be confident of beating a Salt Lake side who have lost three of their four away matches so far.
Real Salt Lake have corrected their early-season wobble, but we do not envisage them getting anything out of a trip to Shell Energy Stadium this weekend.

Nashville vs. Chicago Fire (Sunday, 1.30am)
© Reuters
Two teams at opposite ends of the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference will meet on Sunday as fourth-placed Nashville SC will host Chicago Fire.
The visitors are currently just two points above the foot of the table adding a little pressure heading into this fixture.
We say: Nashville SC 2-1 Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire have made drastic improvements to their performances as of late, and that should lead to them proving to be tough opponents this weekend.
However, Nashville SC should have enough quality, especially with their defensive stability, to secure three points here.

LA Galaxy vs. Colorado (Sunday, 3.30am)
© Reuters
Two teams in highly contrasting forms of late face off at the Dignity Health Sports Park on Sunday as Los Angeles Galaxy entertain the challenge of Colorado Rapids.
The hosts are currently on a run of one win from their last nine matches, while the away side have gone seven games since their last defeat.
We say: Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 Colorado Rapids
Only Sporting Kansas City have scored fewer goals than this weekend's opponents in the entire division, so we are expecting a low-scoring affair. That said, we are also tipping the hosts to just about come away with all three points in the end.

Portland vs. Austin (Sunday, 3.30am)
© Reuters
The action continues in Major League Soccer this weekend as Portland Timbers and Austin FC go head to head at Providence Park on Sunday morning.
While the Timbers will be looking to pick up a third win on the trot for the first time since September, the visitors set out to snap their six-match winless run and get their campaign up and running.
We say: Portland Timbers 2-1 Austin FC
After a slow start to the season, Austin FC will set out in search of a pick-me-up as they look to get their season up and running. However, they face a Portland side who have settled and hit their strides in recent weeks. Austin have lost their last three away matches and we predict this run will continue with the Timbers prevailing in this one.

Vancouver vs. Minnesota Utd (Sunday, 3.30am)

The Vancouver Whitecaps' two-game homestand will end on Saturday when they welcome Minnesota United to BC Place Stadium.
Last weekend, the Caps extended their unbeaten run in MLS to seven matches with a 0-0 draw versus the Colorado Rapids, while the Loons settled for that same result at home to Dallas.
We say: Vancouver Whitecaps 1-1 Minnesota United
Traditionally these teams play each other tightly, and they both have elite goalkeepers who are in fine form right now, so we do not expect either side to find enough to overtake the other on Saturday.
