Prediction: 2-1
Charlotte
Chicago Fire will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami when they take on Charlotte on Sunday. Chicago are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are seen as favourites to beat Charlotte on home soil. All Mauricio Pineda, Federico Navarro, Victor Bezerra, and Chris Mueller should miss out with injuries for the home team. The visitors, meanwhile, desperately needed a win against Toronto and they managed to get one, with the team keeping their playoffs hopes alive.
Chicago, though, have been impressive at home ground of late and we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the Soldier Field showdown. Both Ben Bender and Vinicius Mello are sidelined with injuries for the away team. The opposition back-line should have Poland forward Karol Swiderski as he scored a brace against the Reds.
Highlighted Player (Xherdan Shaqiri):
Another impressive player who emigrated to Switzerland, Xherdan Shaqiri is a midfielder with excellent technical qualities, very strong in taking players on and creating chances for his teammates, while also being a danger from set pieces. The Serbian-born footballer formed an excellent midfielder pairing with Granit Xhaka at FC Basel, before making a high-profile move to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2012.
Shaqiri went on to prove a great deal of potential at Allianz Arena, scoring 11 goals in 52 Bundesliga matches, but he decided to leave in search of first team football, first joining Inter Milan and then moving to Stoke City. It was at Britannia Stadium that the attacking midfielder rediscovered his form and if he continues playing at such a high level, it won’t be long before he returns to the biggest stage.
Even when he was not playing regularly at club level, Shaqiri would always reserve his best performances for the national team, as witnessed by 17 goals in first 50 caps. The midfielder was especially impressive at the 2014 World Cup finals, where he scored no fewer than three goals.
