With time running out on them, the Chicago Fire need to start picking up points fast. Unfortunately, this isn’t exactly the place where they do that. They’ll be heading to Southwest Philadelphia to visit the Philadelphia Union, combining two different things that the Fire can’t handle: Playing on the road and playing against Philadelphia. But, with a loss and a draw down in Florida, the Union do look a bit shaken. Unfortunately for the Fire, the cavalry is returning for Philly.
The biggest thing going into this one is the return of most of the players that were missing for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
