The visiting coach will send the same squad as the previous day:
1. B. SHUTTLEWORTH; 3. J. BORNSTEIN, 22. M. PINEDA, 23. C. TERÁN, 8. L. STOJANOVIĆ, 6. M. NAVARRO, 2. B. SEKULIĆ, 10. MEDRÁN, 21. F. HERBERS, 99. S. IVANOV and 27. R. BERIČ. 

These are the eleven players that Vermes will send to the field:

29. T. MELIA, 36. LUÍS MARTINS, 3. FONTÀS, 6. ILIE, 8. G. ZUSI, 54. R. WALTER, 32. J. MAURI, 17. G. KINDA, 20. D. SALLÓI, 9. A. PULIDO and 7. J. RUSSEL.

It's likely to be a high-scoring game as both Kansas and Chicago suffer at the back.

The home side has conceded one goal per game, while the Fire have a combined total of 33. Both have only gone scoreless in five matches. 

The Kansas team has a total of 37 goals on the season and will want to keep adding units. 

Tonight they will look to exploit this as their best virtue against a Chicago Fire team that has only 24 goals.

Wicky's team obtained a good victory in a formation that took the field with a 3-1-4-2 formation:

1. B. SHUTTLEWORTH; 3. J. BORNSTEIN, 22. M. PINEDA, 23. C. TERÁN, 30. G. GIMÉNEZ, 6. M. NAVARRO, 2. B. SEKULIĆ, 8. L. STOJANOVIĆ, 21. F. HERBERS, 40. B. GUTIERREZ and 27. R. BERIČ.

This was the starting lineup in the painful loss to LAFC in the previous match:

29. T. MELIA; 36. LUÍS MARTINS, 3. FONTÀS, 6. ILIE, 8. G. ZUSI, 54. R. WALTER, 32. J. MAURI, 15. R. ESPINOZA, 11. K. SHELTON, 9. A. PULIDO and 7. J. RUSSELL.

Midfielder Álvaro Medrán has become a benchmark on offense this season for the Chicago Fire. 

He is the best assist man for his team and in that area he equals the team he will face tonight with 5 assists. 

He will have to show the vision and unbalance that characterize him in order to get his team points tonight. 

One of the best players in the league this season is Kansas City striker Dániel Salloi, who is in charge of scoring goals for the home team. 

He is a player who is in his prime and has very good vision to position himself in the area, which is a problem for opposing defenses. 

If the team led by Swiss coach Raphael Wicky wants to advance to the playoffs this season, it is time for them to put more effort to do so. 

They will have to get another favorable result, and this time defeat Kansas as they did the previous day against New York RB. 

That game ended with a 1-0 score thanks to Robert Beric's goal in the 32nd minute.

The home team wants to advance directly in the Western Conference and with a few games left to play they can do it, being only two points behind the leader, which at this moment is Seattle Sounders.

Kansas will be looking for a victory to reach 43 points, being the best offense in their conference at the moment. 

The Kansas vs Chicago match will be played at the stadium Children's Mercy Park, in Kansas, México, with a capacity of 18,467 people.

While Sporting is fighting for the first place in the Western Conference, Chicago wants to avoid being in the last places of the season in the East.

That is why it will be an uneven match on paper but both teams will want to go out to win trying to give their best on the field.
