New England come into this one with a strong recent league run, having won four of their last five and kept three clean sheets in that sequence. Nashville SC have also been competitive, but their away draw at Philadelphia Union and the earlier 0-1 loss at Chicago Fire suggest they have not been flawless on the road. With no xG data available, the clearest guide is the results profile, and that points to a tight game with New England slightly better placed at home.
Nashville SC have already beaten New England twice in the recent head-to-head record, including a 4-1 win in February 2026, so they will not be overawed by the fixture. Even so, New England’s current form and home record in the supplied results give them a solid base, especially if they can control the midfield through Carles Gil and Alhassan Yusuf.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
New England (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Matt Turner (Goalkeeper), Ethan Kohler (Defender), Mamadou Fofana (Defender), Peyton Miller (Defender), Will Sands (Defender), Alhassan Yusuf (Midfielder), Brooklyn Raines (Midfielder), Carles Gil (Midfielder), Griffin Yow (Midfielder), Luca Langoni (Midfielder), Dor Turgeman (Attacker)
New England’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a solid base in midfield, with Alhassan Yusuf and Brooklyn Raines helping to protect the back four and keep the ball moving. Carles Gil operating behind Dor Turgeman gives them a clear route to create chances between the lines and support the lone striker.
Nashville SC (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Brian Schwake (Goalkeeper), Daniel Lovitz (Defender), Jack Maher (Defender), Josh Bauer (Defender), Maxwell Woledzi (Defender), Ahmed Qasem (Midfielder), Bryan Acosta (Midfielder), Patrick Yazbek (Midfielder), Shakur Mohammed (Midfielder), Warren Madrigal (Attacker), Woobens Pacius (Attacker)
Nashville SC’s predicted 4-4-2 gives them two forwards to work off each other and a compact shape in midfield. With Warren Madrigal leading the line, they can look to stay organised, break quickly and use the wide areas to support attacks.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
