Prediction: 2-1
Chicago Fire
Montreal and Chicago face each other at Saputo Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Canadians aim to recover from back-to-back losses to New York City and Columbus Crew and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s MLS game. Canada forward Jules-Anthony Vilsaint is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while all Aaron Herrera, Rommel Quioto, and Orri Thorhelsson remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Men in Red, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the Major League Soccer and given their shaky defence, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. The likes of Victor Bezerra, Javier Casas, and Chris Mueller should miss out with injuries for the visiting team. Switzerland ace Xherdan Shaqiri is back from international duty.
Highlighted Player (Xherdan Shaqiri):
Another impressive player who emigrated to Switzerland, Xherdan Shaqiri is a midfielder with excellent technical qualities, very strong in taking players on and creating chances for his teammates, while also being a danger from set pieces. The Serbian-born footballer formed an excellent midfielder pairing with Granit Xhaka at FC Basel, before making a high-profile move to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2012.
Shaqiri went on to prove a great deal of potential at Allianz Arena, scoring 11 goals in 52 Bundesliga matches, but he decided to leave in search of first team football, first joining Inter Milan and then moving to Stoke City. It was at Britannia Stadium that the attacking midfielder rediscovered his form and if he continues playing at such a high level, it won’t be long before he returns to the biggest stage.
Even when he was not playing regularly at club level, Shaqiri would always reserve his best performances for the national team, as witnessed by 17 goals in first 50 caps. The midfielder was especially impressive at the 2014 World Cup finals, where he scored no fewer than three goals.
