Another bet against Chicago on the road.
Injuries, fatigue, contract issues, and a lack of cohesion on the pitch all play against The Fire. And of course the 31 straight road winless streak still hangs around the teams neck like the stone of shame. Their offense is very direct and heavily relies on Accams spped but he is rather limited player. Defense disappears on the road (just watch Rapids goals last week). And thats why Chicago sit bottom of the table with just 11 points and 11 scored goals after 13 rounds. Theyve lost last 4 away from home.
To make things worse The Fire is struggling with injury crisis. Matt Polster (10/0), Arturo Alvarez (12/1) and Joey Calistri (10/1) are out injured. Gilberto (9/0) decided to terminate contract.
Chicago has resorted to re-calling Drew Connor from his loan to Saint Louis FC to round out the 18. That should tell you all you need to know about Chicagos chances to end the away winless streak.
I wanted to take Union last week against New York City but luckily skipped it. I just wanted to see how Philadelphia will feature without Vincent Nogueira who left club. That was terrible first half without Frenchman. But at half time Jim Curtin send Tranquillo Barnetta in his role and that worked brilliantly in second half. Expect Barnetta to start in midfield along with Carroll tonight.
Curtin and Earnie Stewart have built a team with a grounded work ethic and good understanding of roles and organization. The goal scoring burden has been spread among ten different players while eleven different names have notched assists. It truly is a workingmans team. The Union are 5+2-0 at Talen Energy Stadium with all five victories coming against Eastern Conference opposition. Jim Curtin and company have made it a priority to win at home and have incorporated their fans.
Chicago plays too poor and has too many problems right now to take something from Eastern Conference leaders, especially having in mind their terrible away record
