Charlotte FC vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Tips | May 17th 2023

Chicago Fire set out to pick up a third straight win when they take on Charlotte FC at the Bank of America Stadium on Wednesday.

Christian Lattanzio’s men, meanwhile, head into the midweek clash on a three-match winning streak and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Charlotte FC maintained their fine run of form as they picked up a comfortable 3-1 victory over Atlanta United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday.

Lattanzio’s side now return home, where they are on a four-game winning streak and are unbeaten in six consecutive matches since March.

With 15 points from 12 games, Charlotte FC are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference table, one point and one place above Wednesday’s visitors.

Chicago Fire, on the other hand, picked up successive wins for the first time this season as they edged out 10-man Saint Louis City last time out.

This followed a 2-1 victory over Saint Louis in the first of their cup-and-league double header which saw them book their place in the last-16 of the US Open Cup on May 5.

While the Fire will look to continue in the same vein, they have struggled for results on the road, where they have lost three of their four league games this season.
