Chicago Fire’s last success over Atlanta United came back in 2021. A lot of time has passed since then, and Atlanta United have only grown stronger.

Chicago Fire team news and form: Abysmal form from Chicago

Coach Frank Klopas’ side is far from its best days. Since the start of the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, this team managed to win twice, share the spoils on three occasions, and lose the remaining four games.

Predicted lineup: Brady (GK), Souquet, Teran, Czichos, Arigoni, Acosta, Navarro, Herbers, Shaqiri, Mueller & Cuypers

Atlanta United team news and form: Shaky visitors will do better

There’s no shame in losing to Noonan’s Cincinnati. However, coach Gonzalo Pineda should feel disappointed over the 1-2 loss, as Atlanta United showed they are no pushovers in last week’s match and could’ve easily gotten the three points had they been a tad more precise with their finishing.

Predicted lineup: Guzan (GK), Lennon, Cobb, Abram, Wiley, Slisz, Muyumba, Lobzhanidze, Almada, Mosquera & Rios

Player to watch: Thiago Almada

During the 2023 MLS campaign, Almada was the key attacking threat for coach Gonzalo Pineda. He had a high number of goals and assists, which made him a firm starter under the Mexican coach’s rule.

Almada can deliver

This season, Almada’s performance is a tad more disappointing, but he still has two goals to his name. We are sure that the best is yet to come from the Argentine playmaker.
