Chicago Fire vs. Sporting Kansas City Soccer Prediction of the Day
Chicago Fire debut in the 2018 edition of MLS, receiving a Sporting Kansas City that, last week, made debut at home losing
The windy city team enters the new season with a specter of injuries and ambitions affected by the results of last season, in which it was unable, in the final stretch of the championship, to prove the good indications left at the beginning.
For the men of Kansas, this game will be about not wanting to enter the league with two straight losses.
The Chicago Fire will be without Jonathan Campell, who points to the starting lineup following the departure of João Meira, Djordje Mihailovic and Michael De Leeuw, two important players in the rotation of the offensive midfield.
However, attention at Toyota Park will focus on the stars who have remained in the team and the reinforcements that are expected to offer more regularity to Veljko Paunovic’s side.
Dax McCarty, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Nemanja Nikolic are the men around whom the Fire game is built. The departure of David Accam opens a pecha at the time of the offensive transition, which is expected to be covered by Jon Bakero and Aleksander Katai, although it is glimpsed a set more focused on having ball and look at the offensive game in a more organized way.
Sporting Clube de Portugal came in the worst form of the season with a home defeat to New York City, failing to present the defensive solidity of previous years, nor finding the offensive dynamic to reach the goal.
Chicago Fire vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
The substitution of Benny Feilhaber promises, with Felipe Gutierrez to be a player with characteristics to shine in the test, but in the front of attack, besides lacking a spearhead, was a very inspired Yohan Croizet, Frenchman who is already seen as the worst “Designated Player” to debut in MLS. Trying to get past that first impression and help Peter Vermes’s men reach the points is the goal for Saturday’s game.
Prediction of the Day: Both teams to score
Odds: 1.60
