Chicago Fire team news and form: Might as well be at the bottom

Currently, Chicago Fire are semi-last in the Eastern Conference table. However, New England Revolution have two postponed matches yet to be played. If they manage to win them, Chicago Fire will sink to the bottom of the table, and that’s just another plus in favor of our Chicago Fire vs LA Galaxy predictions this week.

LA Galaxy team news and form: Puig and company crushing it

With only a four-point gap between LA Galaxy and top-of-the-table Real Salt Lake City, you could make the argument that coach Vanney’s players are performing better than last season. Seeing as they were close to the bottom of the table in 2023, it would’ve been difficult for them to actually do any worse.

Predicted lineup: McCarthy (GK), Yamane, Yoshida, Caceres, Aude, Brugman, Delgado, Puig, Fagundez, Pec & Joveljic

Player to watch: Riqui Puig

Despite playing behind Dejan Joveljic, Riqui Puig is actually doing quite well when it comes to scoring goals. Moreover, the former Barcelona starlet is also one of the key creators under coach Greg Vanney’s wing.

Creative Puig crucial for visitors

Riqui Puig has four goals and three assists in 2024. With seven returns since the start of the season, we are sure coach Vanney will rely on him in the upcoming match at Soldier Field.
