Latest news
Chicago Fire
π The team has suffered two consecutive defeats, albeit against strong opponents. Chicago always finds a way to score, but often concedes even more, which is their main issue. In their last MLS match, Cincinnati didn't create many chances and their xG was below one, yet they scored twice. The Fire struggle to maintain focus on their own half for the full 90 minutes, but this makes them the most entertaining club in the league.
β½οΈ Philip Zinckernagel leads Chicago's midfield. Most of their attacks are built through him. The Danish player has scored 9 goals and provided 7 assists.
π There are no major injury concerns.
San-Diego Zest
π The latest encounter in San Diego delivered a shocker. The team, despite being favorites, fell to Houston Dynamo on their home turf, with odds of 5. Zest conceded two goals in quick succession starting from the 87th minute, raising questions about the squad's focus. They seemed to believe in themselves a bit too much. While the club boasts an impressive attack, their defense leaves much to be desired, as this aspect has been lacking throughout the season. With playoffs approaching, there's still time to address these shortcomings.
β½οΈ Anders Dreyer is shining during the regular season, excelling both as a scorer and a playmaker. The Dane has tallied 9 goals and 12 assists, a truly remarkable feat.
π There are no significant injury concerns.
