Team News

Chicago
Vancouver
  • Adailton is available for selection and is in line to make his MLS debut in the welcome of the Whitecaps.
  • David Accam is a doubt and will be assessed closer to kick off.
  • However, the Fire are without injured trio Patrick Nyarko, Mike Magee and Razvan Cocis.
  • Andre Lewis will miss the trip to Chicago with an ACL sprain.
  • Other than that, Carl Robinson has no further injury concerns.
  • Despite their defeat to Toronto last time out, the Whitecaps may name an unchanged XI here.

Prediction

  • The Chicago Fire fell to an expected defeat to LA Galaxy last time out, though will fancy their chances on home turf. The hosts won 23 of their 36 points at Toyota Park last season and need to make their stadium a fortress once more.
  • The Vancouver Whitecaps fell to a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Toronto FC last time out and need a much-improved showing here. Carl Robinson's side failed to make home advantage count and it remains to be seen whether they can kickstart their campaign in this one.
  • Despite underwhelming last weekend, the Fire should secure their first win of the season.
