📰 Team News: Chicago Fire

Carlos Terán (Hamstring injury) and David Poreba (Torn ligaments) are not available for Chicago Fire boss Gregg Berhalter.

In all likelihood, Men in Red could go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Jeff Gal, Jonathan Dean, Omar Gonzalez, Jack Elliott, Andrew Gutman, Sergio Oregel, Mauricio Pineda, Maren Haile-Selassie, Brian Gutierrez, Jonathan Bamba and Hugo Cuypers.

📋 Team News: Philadelphia Union

Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Philadelphia Union boss Bradley Carnell to be concerned with. Ian Glavinovich (Knee injury) won’t be in action.

From our viewpoint, The U might play in a 4-4-2 formation, choosing Andrew Rick, Isaiah LeFlore, Jakob Glesnes, Olwethu Makhanya, Kai Wagner, Alejandro Bedoya, Jesús Bueno, Jovan Lukic, Ben Bender, Bruno Damiani and Indiana Vassilev.

✨ Prediction

In this game, Philadelphia Union will do well to get a goal against a Chicago Fire outfit who seem set to get a big win and also probable clean sheet.

We reckon that it will be a comprehensive 3-0 win for Chicago Fire when the full-time whistle blows.
