Chicago Fire LA Galaxy betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home draw by (1‑1) against Orlando City. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium. In the last 9 home league matches Chicago has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 27 possible.

They haven’t won any of the last 6 home matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 16 matches for the MLS, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Chicago Fire needs to gather points at home and cannot afford to stumble in this match. With risks in the standings of the Eastern Conference, they should face the Galaxy team with an offensive strategy. The coaching staff should fine-tune the details in the locker room, not allowing any mistakes during the 90 minutes, as any slip-up could be fatal.

Confirmed Lineup: Christopher Brady, R. Dean Jr, M. Pineda, Carlos Teran, Allan Arigoni, Rafael Czichos, Fabian Herbers, Kellyn Acosta, B. Gutierrez, Maren Haile-Selassie, Hugo Cuypers.
Coach: G. Berhalter.
