Prediction: 2-1
Atlanta United
Chicago Fire will be aiming to build on the US Open Cup win over Detroit when they take on Atlanta United in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The US Open Cup win gave them a confidence boost, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Goalkeeper Chris Brady is banned for the match, while all Barroso, Gasper, Poreba, and Teran remain in the recovery room.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, have yet to find their best form in the new Major League Soccer campaign. Atlanta United have collected only one point in total from the last four league matches and given Chicago’s signs of improvement, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. As for the visiting team, both Stian Gregersen and Tristan Muyumba are sidelined with injuries, while Colombian forward Edwin Mosquera is pushing for a start.
