Prediction: 0-2
Nashville
Chicago Fire welcome Nashville at their Soldier Field in the Major League Soccer on Sunday evening. Chicago suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each off their previous four league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are desperate to grab something from the match. A man to watch in the home team will be Paraguay midfielder Gaston Gimenez, who produced a fine display in the defeat New England, while both Calvo and Gutierrez remain in the recovery room.
German international Kronholm is a major doubt. Nashville, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Inter Miami, and seeing that they have been impressive on the travels of late, away win should be considered. Gary Smith should have a full squad to choose from, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Francisco Calvo):
Francisco Calvo is a product of Sarprissa football academy. The Costa Rica international started his senior career at his homeland club Herediano, playing as a defender. Calvo played for the likes of Perez Zeledon, Nordsjaelland, Santos and Sarprissa before joining Minnesota United in 2017 and it has to be noted that he made his MLS debut on March 4, 2017 in a 5-1 loss to Portland Timbers.
The Costa Rica defender quickly proved his worth in the Major League Soccer and in 2018 he was selected as an MLS All-Star, becoming the first ever Loons player to receive the honour.
