Atlanta United and Nashville go head to head at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The Five Stripes are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but the game against Nashville will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. It has to be noted that all Adams, Barco, Chol, Damm, Franco, and Kann have been struggling with injuries of late.
Gary Smith’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Austin. Nashville have yet to suffer a loss in the 2021 MLS campaign, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to Georgia. Anyhow, the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Anunga, Danladi, and Rios are likely to miss the game with injuries for the visiting team.
All eyes will be on King Baudouin Stadium when Belgium and Greece face each other in a warm-up game. The Red Devils are seen as one of the main favourites to win the EURO 2021, but boss Roberto Martinez must warn his men against complacency. Belgium rolled over Belarus 8-0 in their last World Cup qualifier, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Thursday’s clash.
Man City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is likely to be rested against Greece following his participation in the Champions League final, while both Romelu Lukaku and Dries Mertens are pushing for a start. The Greeks, on the other hand, missed out on a place at the European Championship finals, and given Belgium’s attacking potential, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Willem II attacker Vangelis Pavlidis is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors.
