Comments and predictions for Nashville vs Aston Villa: Dominating match

Latest Nashville vs Aston Villa team information

Aston Villa's number one goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, who has been linked with a move away from the club, made his pre-season debut on Wednesday, replacing new signing Marco Bizot. The Argentine is likely to remain in the starting XI.

Captain John McGinn is also back, while young right-back Triston Rowe makes his first start. Manager Unai Emery is expected to field a strong line-up once again, but there will be some changes to give chances to the reserves.

Ross Barkley and Andres Garcia are not travelling with the team to the US due to injury. Meanwhile, Alex Moreno and Leander Dendoncker are preparing to leave the club. Strikers Lewis Dobbin and Zepiqueno Redmond are likely to be loaned out.

Nashville is still without Taylor Washington and US winger Tyler Boyd, but key defender Walker Zimmerman has recovered and is back in action.

English striker Sam Surridge, who played for Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, has been the star of Nashville's attack this season, with 20 goals to his name so far.

Latest football commentary Nashville vs Aston Villa

In the second game of their three-match tour of the USA, Aston Villa overcame St Louis City on Wednesday, with star attackers Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins scoring for the second consecutive game.

It was Villa's first win of the summer – a positive step forward after they lost to Walsall and Hansa Rostock, before drawing 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt.

After starting pre-season with a squad rich in youth, manager Unai Emery has now welcomed back key players, despite transfer speculation surrounding the futures of Rogers, Watkins and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Before returning to England, Aston Villa want another win this week to strengthen their spirit and improve their fitness and playing feel.

After the match against Nashville, Emery's team will play a friendly against Roma, before facing Marseille and Villarreal - a series of matches to prepare for welcoming Newcastle United on the opening day of the Premier League.

On the home side, Nashville SC – founded less than a decade ago – has yet to make much of an impact in Major League Soccer, and failed to even qualify for the playoffs last season.

However, they have overcome a slow start to the season, losing just two of their last 16 MLS games and are making a strong run up the Eastern Conference standings.

Coach BJ Callaghan – who was the interim coach of the US team – is trying to turn the “Wolves” into title contenders. However, the team just suffered a rare stumble when they lost 0-1 to San Diego at Snapdragon Stadium.

Still, Nashville are currently third in the standings and have the best home record in MLS – they have conceded just eight goals in 12 games at Geodis Park.
