The Chicago Fire and Philadelphia Union are both in the top seven, well-positioned to secure a spot in the Round of 16 of the MLS playoffs as the MLS season draws to a close. They will face off at Soldier Field in what promises to be an intriguing match.
Returning from the international break, the Chicago Fire have shown strength with a 3-1 victory against the Vancouver Whitecaps at home and another 2-1 win at the same venue against New York City FC. This victory highlighted Chicago's impressive performance, as they were able to overcome a 1-0 deficit against the Pigeons, winning 2-1 with a late goal from Haile-Selassie, even after playing the entire second half with 10 men following D'Avilla's red card.
The fact remains that the Philadelphia Union are undoubtedly the hottest team in MLS; they are currently on a 13-game unbeaten streak and have won their last seven matches. At this point, Philadelphia seems to have fully rediscovered the form of the team that, in 2015, led the Eastern Conference with 66 points.
