Preview
Chicago and Columbus meet at Soldier Field, in a match for the 0ª round of the MLS. Columbus Crew got a home win by (3‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 21‑08‑2020. In 12 head‑to‑heads in the last 3 years, the away team won 4, tied 6 and lost 2. Columbus registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Chicago

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home loss by (1‑2) against New England. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 5 home league matches Chicago has a record of 2 wins and 3 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 15 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 9 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 10 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Chicago Fire has been accumulating negative results and it is no accident that it is in the last position of its conference. If they want a better campaign, they'll have to make some serious changes, because the way they are, they'll still be getting in trouble. It will not be from a moment to the next that they will perform better than they currently are, but they can begin to grow gradually. As they will face the leader of the conference in this round, they will have to play a higher quality football to have any chance of scoring.

Confirmed Lineup: Bobby Shuttleworth, Francisco Calvo, Boris Sekulić, M. Pineda, Medrán, Ignacio Aliseda, Djordje Mihailovic, Gastón Giménez, Miguel Navarro, Fabian Herbers, Robert Berić.

Analysis Columbus

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: Cincinnati, Philadelphia Union, New York City, Chicago Fire and Minnesota United. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 10 wins and 5 draws at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 5 away league matches Columbus has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 8 points out of 15 possible. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

The Columbus Crew continues to play high quality football, and if today they are leading the conference it is on their own merit. If they keep up their pace, they'll have a good chance of getting a positive score in the current round. Respect for the home team should exist, but there's no hiding the disparity between the teams. Therefore, it can be stated that visitors are the favorites in relation to victory.

Confirmed Lineup: Eloy Room, Milton Valenzuela, Harrison Afful, Josh Williams, Jonathan Mensah, Luis Díaz, Fatai Alashe, Derrick Etienne, Artur, Gyasi Zardes, Pedro Santos.
