The 2025 MLS season continues this weekend with another high-stakes fixture as Nashville SC host Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano’s Inter Miami at Geodis Park on Saturday. Both teams are playoff-bound but will be eager to close out the regular season with momentum on their side. Betting Preview for Nashville SC vs Inter Miami Venue: Geodis Park, Nashville, Tennessee Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025 Time: 19:30 CST Teams: Nashville SC vs Inter Miami Odds (via 1XBet) Betting on Nashville SC Nashville SC enter this matchup sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference with 52 points from 33 games. It’s been a mixed campaign for Gary Smith’s side, marked by solid defensive structure but a lack of consistency in attack. Last weekend, the Coyotes were held to a 1-1 draw against CF Montréal, a result that summed up their frustrating recent form. Their issues in the final third have persisted all season, with the team averaging just 1.3 goals per game despite generating plenty of chances through their wide play. Betting on Inter Miami Inter Miami travel to Nashville in outstanding form. The Herons currently sit third in the Eastern Conference with 59 points, and their 4-0 demolition of Atlanta United last weekend was another statement of intent ahead of the playoffs. Under Javier Mascherano, Miami have become one of the most efficient attacking sides in the league, scoring 72 goals in 33 matches, the second-highest tally in MLS this season. That said, Miami’s road form has improved markedly in recent months, with four wins from their last six away fixtures.  MatchPlug Prediction for Nashville SC vs Inter Miami This matchup features two teams heading in opposite directions in terms of form. While Nashville’s resilience and home advantage cannot be discounted, Inter Miami’s attacking trio of Messi, Suárez, and Alba have been unplayable in recent weeks. Expect a competitive first half, but Inter Miami’s class in the final third should ultimately shine through in the second. Final Prediction: Inter Miami to Win  

Charlotte hosts Philadelphia Union at the Bank of America Stadium on Saturday in their final game of the 2025 MLS league phase. Here’s our full breakdown and Charlotte vs Philadelphia Union prediction.  Both teams have already secured playoff berths, but this clash offers a chance to build momentum heading into the postseason.  Betting Preview for Charlotte vs Philadelphia Union Venue: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte Date: Saturday, October 4, 2025 Time: 19:30 EST Teams: Charlotte FC vs Philadelphia Union Odds (via 1XBet) Betting on Charlotte FC Spread: +0.25 Moneyline: 2.90 O/U: Under 2.5 Charlotte FC have put together one of their best MLS seasons under Dean Smith, securing a top-seven finish in the Eastern Conference. Their recent 1-0 win over DC United, thanks to a first-half goal from Wilfried Zaha, took them to 56 points and marked their 18th victory of the season — five more than their 2024 total. Backed by their home fans, the Crown will look to close out the regular season with another strong showing against the league’s top team.  Betting on Philadelphia Union Spread: –0.25 Moneyline: 2.35 O/U: Over 2.5 Philadelphia Union have been the benchmark side in the East, sitting 10 points clear at the top and already crowned Supporters’ Shield champions. Jim Curtin’s squad are on a three-game winning run and remain in excellent form heading into the playoffs. However, with their top spot secured, the visitors could rest key players, which might give Charlotte a chance to grab a result. MatchPlug Prediction for Charlotte vs Philadelphia Union While Philadelphia enter this matchup as slight favorites, Charlotte’s home strength and motivation to finish on a high could make this an evenly balanced affair. Expect a tight, competitive game where neither side risks too much before the playoffs. Final Prediction: Draw

MLS’s final matchday brings us a bottom-of-the-table clash at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium as Atlanta United host DC United on Saturday. Here’s our full preview and Atlanta United vs DC United prediction. Both sides have endured disappointing campaigns and will be eager to finish on a positive note. Betting Preview for Atlanta United vs DC United Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta Date: Saturday, October 4, 2025 Time: 19:30 EST Teams: Atlanta United vs DC United Odds (via 1XBet) Betting on Atlanta United Spread: -0.5 Moneyline: 2.05 O/U: Over 2.5 Atlanta United’s struggles continue as they head into the final day without a win in five matches. Their last outing ended in a 4-0 thrashing by Inter Miami, where former Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez all found the net. With just 27 points from 33 games, the Five Stripes sit second from bottom in the Eastern Conference and are desperate to give their fans something to cheer about at home. However, confidence and defensive solidity remain major concerns for Ronny Deila’s men. Betting on DC United Spread: +0.5 Moneyline: 3.60 O/U: Under 2.5 DC United have endured an equally frustrating season, picking up only 25 points — the lowest tally in the Eastern Conference. They are winless in their last four games since their shock 2-1 away win over New York City in August. Troy Lesesne’s side have lacked attacking spark and struggled defensively, conceding too many soft goals. With little but pride left to play for, they’ll aim to end a poor season on a respectable note. MatchPlug Prediction for Atlanta United vs DC United This is a clash between two sides low on confidence and form. With both teams sitting at the foot of the table, neither will want to end their season with another defeat. Expect a tight, cagey affair with few chances and little to separate them. Final Prediction: Draw (1-1)
