THE PREDICTION

A 3-0 win over Atlanta United came as a huge shock for a Chicago Fire side that have endured a really poor season until that stage. The home team come into this towards the bottom of the table with just two wins and two draws in their opening 11 matches. In contrast, their opponents Orlando City have collected 21 points in their 11 games so far this season as they look to battle it out with the New England Revolution at the top of the Eastern Conference. The visitors’ away form has been good with three wins and a draw in their five matches on the road. Given that, and the fact that Chicago have lost three of their first seven, this one should be an away victory.
