THE PREDICTION
Chicago Fire come into this on the back of a winless start to the campaign following back-to-back defeats against Atlanta United and New York Red Bulls that followed a draw against New England Revolution at the start of the season. They come up against a Philadelphia Union side that completed their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-final victory against Atlanta United in midweek with a 4-1 aggregate victory. That means they have only conceded five goals in their seven competitive matches this season but four of those have been in their two MLS defeats out of three with a goalless draw in their opening game. Chicago are in poor form whilst Philadelphia’s attention has been lost. Given that, under 2.5 goals seems likely in this bet.
