Chicago Fire
Minnesota United will be looking to record their third consecutive win in MLS when they take on Chicago Fire on Thursday morning. The Loons head into the midweek clash following back-to-back wins over Cincinnati and Colorado Rapids, and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Chicago Fire. Keep in mind, though, that the likes of Tyler Miller, Ike Opara, Jacori Hayes, Osvaldo Alonso, Luis Amarilla, and Hassani Dotson are all sidelined with injury.
Chicago Fire, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league fixtures in the Major League Soccer, and given their shaky defence, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of spoiling Minnesota United’s party at Allianz Field. In their last meeting at the Venue the Loons emerged triumphant. Both Luka Stojanovic and Kenneth Kronholm are out of contention for the visitors through injury.
