Our prediction for this MLS match:
Inter&Co Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Orlando City and Chicago Fire, the two bottom-table sides. The Lions aim to put an end to their five-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Chicago Fire. Uruguay midfielder Cesar Araujo is pushing for a start, while all Pedro Gallese, David Brekalo, and Wilder Cartagena remain in the recovery room. Both Michael Halliday and Tahir Reid-Brown miss out with injuries.
The Men in Red, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Los Angeles Galaxy and Toronto FC. As Chicago have found their best form of late, we predict that they are going to grab something from Sunday’s clash. Xherdan Shaqiri is representing Switzerland at the EURO 2024 finals, while all Federico Navarro, Andrew Gutman, Tobias Salquist, and Chase Gasper remain on the sidelines with injuries.
