After the World Cup, every soccer fan was waiting for two things: the MLS Matchdays and the Leagues Cup games. Why is this important? Because we have many MLS teams battling tonight.
Yesterday we had some surprises and some games that followed common sense. Now we join an interesting match between Chicago Fire and Club Necaxa.

Score Prediction
In the preview, the team that has the upper hand is the Chicago Fire because of their recent outcomes.
The Fire have indeed won their last two matches, but since Robert Lewandowski’s arrival, they still haven't managed to put all the pieces together and fully unlock the attacking potential the Polish striker can bring to the team.
On the other hand, we have an irregular Necaxa who always puts up a good struggle for the other team. It happened to Inter Miami last year, and now they’re planning on doing the same thing to the Fire.
The Mexican side has shown slightly improved performances over the last five games, but many believe this could be the match where the former FC Barcelona star finally opens his goal-scoring account.
Score Prediction: Chicago Fire 3-2 Necaxa
