Prediction: 2-0
Charlotte
Chicago Fire and Charlotte, the two teams who are level on points in the MLS standings, face each other at Soldier Field in what is expected to be an interesting game. Chicago dropped three points in a 3-2 loss to Montreal, and, as a result, they face a must-win situation against Charlotte. Even though all Jairo Torres, Stanislav Ivanov, Kacper Przybylko, Gaston Gimenez, Wyatt Omsberg remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Charlotte one of the worst travellers in the Major League Soccer.
The Crown, on the other hand, desperately need a win against New York City, and they managed to get one thanks to Daniel Rios’ goal. However, we are tempted to put our money on the host as Charlotte have already suffered 11 defeats on the road this term. Christian Fuchs is banned for the match, while both Adam Armour and Vinicius Mello miss out with injuries.
