Charlotte FC will take on Chicago Fire on Saturday

Charlotte FC will be hoping to keep ahold of their playoff spot in the MLS Eastern Conference as they square off against Chicago Fire on Saturday.

Charlotte FC dealt DC United their first loss under new boss Wayne Rooney. Karol Swiderski starred for Christian Lattanzio's men as he scored a goal and was heavily involved in two others to help his side beat DC United 3-0.

The resounding win was a good way for them to bounce back from successive defeats conceded against Inter Miami and Toronto FC. The three points from Wednesday have taken Charlotte FC to seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, two points clear of their Saturday opponents Chicago Fire.

Meanwhile, Chicago Fire had a three-game winning streak snapped last weekend as they settled for a goalless draw against Atlanta United. They had beaten Toronto, Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps on the trot priot to that.

Both Chicago Fire and Atlanta FC had enough chances to put the ball in the back of the net. However, it was a cagey contest between two well-matched teams and the draw was a fair result in the end.

Chicago Fire FC are currently 10th in the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 27 points from 23 matches. But they could move to seventh with a win over Charlotte FC on Saturday.
