Prediction: 1-1
Chicago Fire
San Jose Earthquakes will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Real Salt Lake when they take on Chicago Fire on Sunday. The Earthquakes have been struggling in front of goal of late, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for Chicago in front of home fans. All Bouda, Gregus, and Salinas are pushing for a start, as head coach Alex Covelo should opt to make changes to the team that faced the Royals. The good news for the hosts is that Argentina defender Eric Remedi is back from suspension.
The Fire, on the other hand, did well to beat Philadelphia Union thanks to Federico Navarro’s goal. Chicago, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. As for the away side, all Kendall Burks, Wyatt Omsberg, and Chris Brady should miss out with injuries.
