Minnesota United vs Chicago Fire Lineups & Team News
Minnesota United
Former Norwich star Teemu Pukki joined Minnesota United’s ranks a few weeks ago and already made his debut with the Minnesota jersey in the game against Puebla. Sure, he didn’t make much of an impact, but his team still thrashed Puebla 4-0.
Predicted lineup – Clair (GK), Dibassy, Valentin, Taylor, Kallman, Trapp, Ariaga, Dotson, Reynoso, Hlongwane & Pukki
Chicago Fire
The below-mentioned starters were the ones who pipped Toronto 1-0 at Soldier Field on the 16th of July. Perhaps the Canucks were a bit better with their 52.0% possession, but the truth is that coach Klopas’ boys had five times as many shots on target as their rivals. With that piece of information in mind, we have hopes that our Minnesota United vs Chicago Fire predictions will succeed.
Predicted lineup – Brady (GK), Dean, Pineda, Czichos, Navarro, Herbers, Gimenez, Haile-Selassie, Shaqiri, Gutierrez & Koutsias
Player to Watch: Xherdan Shaqiri
At the age of 31, Xherdan Shaqiri is getting closer and closer to the end of his professional career. However, the Swiss is currently enjoying the best MLS days he’s had so far and it’d be unwise to rule out the possibility of an away team win on Friday.
Our Minnesota United vs Chicago Fire predictions rely heavily on Shaqiri to deliver a solid display against coach Adrian Heath’s boys. So far this season, 31-year-old Shaqiri scored three and assisted thrice. We believe there’s plenty more where that came from and a solid display in the Leagues Cup tournament is exactly what coach Frank Klopas wants from his star player.
