Charlotte FC versus Chicago Fire

Charlotte FC host Chicago Fire in Matchday 28 with playoff seeding on the line, coming off a 2-1 win at D.C. United that extended their unbeaten run to eight games, with Designated Player Allan Saint-Maximin scoring the winner. Charlotte sit in a top-four Eastern Conference spot and have lost just two of 13 home games this season. Chicago, meanwhile, fell 3-0 to Nashville SC and are winless in six matches, and will be without Robert Lewandowski, Chris Brady and Robin Lod due to international duty for this trip.
