THE PREDICTION
Chicago Fire’s 5-1 defeat to Nashville SC over the weekend was the first time they have conceded over four goals in an MLS game in almost five years which is of course a worrying sign for head coach Raphael Wicky, who can’t seem to get a tune out of his players on the road. That is now 16 straight away games in the MLS without a victory – a run that stretches back to March 2020 – so they will be relieved to return to Soldier Field where they will contest five of their next six fixtures. They have scored three goals in each of their last three home games, while visiting DC United have won just one of their last eight away games in the MLS, so siding with the Fire to bounce back on home turf is the tip here.
