After a disappointing effort in midweek, Charlotte FC return to play in front of a home crowd on Saturday evening, where they'll take on the Chicago Fire at Bank of America Stadium. Dean Smith's men came unstuck for the second game in a row on Wednesday, so they now need to bounce back. Fortunately for them, they're up against a Chicago Fire side that has struggled in recent away games, especially at the back, so this must go down as a decent opportunity to regain the winning thread. After all, the hosts are typically strong at this venue.
For the Fire, it's been a good week or so, with Gregg Berhalter's men getting the better of lower-level Detroit in convincing fashion in the US Open Cup, before beating Atlanta United in front of a home crowd on Wednesday evening. The visitors will be hoping that such results act as a platform from which to build away from home, where they've certainly not been at their best of late.

Our Charlotte FC vs Chicago Fire Prediction
If we're being totally honest, this is a big opportunity for the hosts, who typically save their best soccer for when playing in front of a home crowd. Meanwhile, the visitors have struggled on the road of late, especially defensively, and it's at the back where Dean Smith's men are strong at home, so if they can keep things at tight as they normally do, this one will be there for the taking, perhaps a little more so than the early odds suggest.
