Chicago Fire team news and form: Chicago Fire need to do better
With only a goal in the last 270 minutes of soccer, it’s fair to say the visitors’ attack lacks quality right now. It will be very difficult for Chicago Fire to find Charlotte’s net given how well Smith’s players performed at DRV PNK Stadium last week.

Player to watch: Karol Swiderski
We think Karol Swiderski deserves to be named the player to watch in our exceptional Charlotte vs Chicago Fire prediction, as he was a force of nature against Inter Miami last week. At DRV PNK Stadium, Swiderski scored the opening goal and could’ve easily won the game for coach Smith.
Second player to watch: Kerwin Vargas
With six goals since the start of the season, Vargas is proving to be one of Charlotte’s most valuable players. We believe he will be among the top favorites to score a goal versus Chicago Fire on the 3rd of October.
