📋 Team News: Philadelphia Union

Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is just the sole fitness problem for the Philadelphia Union manager Bradley Carnell to contend with. Ian Glavinovich (Knee injury) misses out for this game.

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

💭 Prediction

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