This weekend, Aston Villa end their tour of the United States with a clash at Geodis Park against Nashivlle SC, one of the MLS representatives in the Premier League Summer Series. After picking up their first win of the pre-season, the Villans are looking to close out their series of friendlies with a bang before the start of the new European season.
Nashville SC team news
Without having made much of an impact since it was founded in the MLS, Nashville SC is going through its moment of greatest impact and international exposure, considering that the team didn't even make the playoffs last season. On the other hand, it's worth noting that the team has put together a good run of recent games and is climbing up the Eastern Conference standings.
BJ Callaghan (former interim coach of the UMNT) is even willing to establish a winning culture at Nashville SC in order to make the team one of the contenders for the MLS title. However, Nashville will need to bounce back from their defeat against San Digo, their only loss in eight games.
Nashville SC predicted lineups vs Aston Villa: Willis; Najar, Zimmerman, Palacios, Lovitz; Muyl, Brugman, Tagseth; Mukhtar, Surridge, Perez

Strikers Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins were the standout performers in this win, celebrating their first victory of the summer after defeats to Walsall and Hansa Rostock, as well as a draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Unai Emery started pre-season with a number of youngsters in order to see which ones could make it into the first team. However, negative results have forced the return of all the starters ahead of schedule, with Aston Villa planning to face Marseille and Villarreal ahead of the new season.
