Chicago Fire vs Vancouver Whitecaps Lineups & Team News
Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire’s performance this season is undoubtedly mediocre. With eight victories, eight draws, and eight losses, it’s only logical that the team ranks 9th. Currently, the team has a place in the final series’ playoffs but if coach Klopas wants to book his team’s place in the next stage of MLS soccer, he’d have to prove our Chicago Fire vs Vancouver Whitecaps predictions wrong.
Predicted lineup – Richey (GK), Dean, Pineda, Teran, Navarro, Doumbia, Gimenez, Haile-Selassie, Shaqiri, Gutierrez & Koutsias
Vancouver Whitecaps
With 38 goals scored and only 33 conceded, you could make the argument that Vancouver Whitecaps are enjoying a positive 2023 Major League Soccer season. However, Vanni Sartini’s boys should shake the rustiness off as they allowed San Jose Earthquakes to defeat them after making only one shot on target.
Predicted lineup – Takaoka (GK), Laborda, Veselinovic, Blackmon, Cubas, Laryea, Raposo, Schopf, Vite, White & Cordova
Player to Watch: Xherdan Shaqiri
Without a doubt, Xherdan Shaqiri deserves to be the player to watch in our Chicago Fire vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction. The former Liverpool superstar is one of the top players in Major League Soccer at the moment. The Swiss midfielder is coach Klopas’ big star and it wouldn’t be too surprising to see him among the starters against Vancouver Whitecaps. Xherdan already scored on three occasions this season and provided teammates with three assists.
