The Chicago Fire return to action for their 3rd and final match against the Philadelphia Union
After some much needed rest and relaxation, the Chicago Fire return to action Saturday night against the Philadelphia Union at Toyota Park. Despite Veljko Paunovic’s midweek comments about the playoffs being the team’s ultimate goal this season, realists can just look forward to the Fire continuing to play an exciting, attacking style they have shown off sporadically in the past few weeks.
With nine points separating the Fire from the last playoff spot, the club may be better just aiming to play spoilers this weekend against a Philadelphia Union side that’s won three of their past four matches and looking for three points to launch them to the second seed in the conference standings.
