There’s a Midwestern clash in MLS this weekend as FC Cincinnati hosts the Chicago Fire at TQL Stadium on Saturday night.
Cincinnati’s dream season continued during the week as they traveled to Yankee Stadium and beat NYCFC 3-1. It was their sixth win in seven matches, and it increased their lead at the top of the Eastern Conference standings to eight points. They’re loving life at the moment, and they’ll look to keep the good times rolling with another victory here.
It’s a very different story for Chicago. They’re just plodding away in MLS, and their bore 0-0 draw away to Toronto FC was simply another underwhelming day at the office.
