Due to this, Fire is in 6th position in the Eastern Conference standings, a wide 8 points from the spot, even with a game in hand. Their upcoming match is against a team that has won only twice in the last 15 editions of this game over the last 5 years. They are undefeated in all of them except their nine home matches since the beginning of the year. This Saturday they’ll want to get a good result in front of their fans.

They went 1-0 and 2-1 down to strikes from Julian Quinones and Julio Furch but maintained a drawing level in the two matches through Julian Carranza. Before that, Philadelphia was in a narrow 1-0 defeat against division leaders FC Cincinnati and is in 10th position in the Eastern Conference, which is two points from the last playoff place. The Union are without a win in the last 9 outings on the road, which is why they’ll want to change their fate as soon as humanly possible. Possible Lineup: Blake, Wagner, Elliot, Glesnes, Mbaizo, McGlynn, Bedoya, Martinez, Carranza, Gazdag. MatchPlug Prediction Philadelphia has been favoured the most of this matchup lately, but Chicago’s home records show that today’s matchup is far from being concluded.
