NYCFC vs Chicago Fire 9 Reasons

1. This is the only time this season that Chicago Fire will be visiting Yankee Stadium. 


2. That means that this will be the only time this season you'll get to see in person FIFA World Cup winner and new Chicago Fire signing, Bastian Schweinsteiger, go head-to-head with David Villa on his first visit to Yankee Stadium.


3. Chicago Fire will prove some competition for NYCFC, they haven't lost once in their last six away games... 


4. ...but, NYCFC also have not lost in their last six home games. 


5. The match will feature two of MLS' top goal-scorers, Nemanja Nikolic in first place with 16 goals and David Villa in second place with 13 goals. 


6. David Villa will be looking to add to that number, especially after scoring twice against the Fire already. 


7. Chicago Fire are currently in second place on the Eastern Conference table, one point below Toronto FC and four points above NYCFC.


8. NYCFC have won twice, drawn twice, and lost once in their last five encounters against the Fire.
