"With their sights firmly fixed on punching a play-off ticket in 2026, the former Servette boss should find the mood in his camp at a continued high.

"As for the visitors, while Chicago might have stormed their way to a sensational 5-0 romp at home against Sporting KC last month, the Fire have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Putting in another concerning performance over the weekend as they eventually slumped to a 3-1 defeat against the New York Red Bulls, Thursday's guests have lost each of their previous three consecutive appearances across all formats by an aggregate score of 8-4."
"Likewise, watching their US Open Cup adventure come to a thumping end on April 30th as they fell to a 2-1 loss at the hands of St. Louis, Chicago have shown some real defensive struggles over the past fortnight. Including a frantic 3-2 defeat against Cincinnati earl"
