Chicago Fire-New York Red Bulls, Knockout round

Jesse Marsch’s men traveled to the Windy City to face Chicago. NYRB is the underdog

MLS KNOCKOUT ROUND CHICAGO FIRE NEW YORK RED BULLS / This is the moment of the reality. This is the moment to understand if the New York Red Bulls is a team able to overtake its own limits. Jesse Marsch’s guys are in the Windy City where tonight they will face the local franchise Chicago Fire

The Toyota Park stadium will be completely sold out for this important knockout round. Sacha Kljestan, Luis Robles, and Bradley Wright-Phillips will lead their team against the No.3 seeded Fire. On the other side, Nikolic and Scweinsteiger will try to push their team to the next round. 

The big clash between Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls will take place at 8:30 PM (EST). 

New York plays a knockout round match for the eighth straight year while Chicago missed to qualify in the last four editions. 

Can the New York Red Bulls defeat the favorite Chicago Fire at the Toyota Fire stadium?

It’s tough to say. Jesse Marsch’s guys had a season full of ups and downs. Although their tactical scheme and individualities can put the Fire in trouble, Chicago is a very strong opponent this season. 

RBNY fans believe in the qualities of their players. Bradly Wright-Phillips is an astute striker able to make the difference thanks to his killer instinct within the box. Kljestan is a brave captain and 2017 MLS assist leader. Thanks to his intuitions and soft touches the NY Red Bulls could find the right spaces to cut Chicago’s defense line like butter. Luis Robles is a great keeper and he will be really busy tonight. Fire’s Nemanja Nikolić is an authentic threat and if Schweinsteiger will be able to play, the former Germany International could put his unbelievable experience at the service of his teammates. 

Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls is a must watch match. At the end of these 90 minutes, one team will rejoice and keep dreaming while the other will lick its wounds and start thinking about the next season
