It has been seldom in recent times where Charlotte FC haven’t conceded.

ℹ️ Team News: Charlotte FC

We think that Charlotte FC may well kick off with a 4-3-3 system, handing starts to Kristijan Kahlina, Nathan Byrne, Adilson Malanda, Andrew Privett, Tim Ream, Brandt Bronico, Ashley Westwood, Junior Urso, Pep Biel, Karol Swiderski and Liel Abada.

ℹ️ Team News: Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire boss Frank Klopas has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Chase Gasper (Hamstring injury), Andrew Gutman (Leg injury) and Carlos Terán (Leg injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe Men in Red seem most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, starting Chris Brady, Arnaud Souquet, Wyatt Omsberg, Rafael Czichos, Jonathan Dean, Kellyn Acosta, G. Claudio Gimenez, Fabian Herbers, Ariel Lassiter, Georgios Koutsias and Brian Gutierrez.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Charlotte FC will more than likely create enough chances to score more than one when they meet Chicago Fire, who might well find it a difficult task finding the net themselves.

We’re predicting a controlled 2-0 victory for Charlotte FC at the conclusion of the game.
