THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a disappointing start to their MLS campaign in which they have began with back-to-back defeats. A 2-1 home loss to Sporting KC was backed up with a 3-2 defeat against LA Galaxy. They led in their opening day defeat and then had the better of the play in their loss against the Galaxy. They come up against a Chicago Fire side that have started with a 2-2 draw against New England Revolution and a 3-1 loss against Atlanta United; in both games they had plenty of opportunities and even led 2-0 against the Revs. Both sides have performed relatively well yet neither have won so both teams to score would be a good bet for this one.
