Chicago Fire team news and form: Will Chicago Fire sink further?
As we mentioned earlier in our Chicago Fire vs DC United predictions, Klopas’ team is sharing the bottom of the pit with Nashville. However, if Xherdan Shaqiri and his colleagues don’t come up with something brilliant this week, we will surely see them sink to the very bottom.
Predicted lineup: Brady (GK), Souquet, Salquist, Czichos, Gutman, Gimenez, Mueller, Gutierrez, Navarro, Haille-Selassie & Shaqiri

DC United team news and form: Bad defense keeps DC down
With 55 goals conceded since the start of the season, DC United have one of the weakest backlines in the business. If it wasn’t for Benteke’s tremendous goalscoring capabilities, we would’ve seen DC at the bottom.
Predicted lineup: Bono (GK), Santos, McVey, Bartlett, Herrera, Peltola, Klich, Dajome, Ku-DiPietro, Benteke & Stroud

Player to watch: Christian Benteke
Benteke is not only the top DC United scorer right now but he even managed to climb the top of the goalscoring ladder in MLS. He and Cristian Arango of Real Salt Lake City have 17 goals each. Surely, the goalscoring chase will be an interesting one this year.
Second player to watch: Jared Stroud
The second player we’d like to turn your attention to is Stroud. He is the leading creator for the visitors, with eight assists since the start of the campaign.
