New York City Chicago Fire betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away win by (1‑4) against Charlotte. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the US Open Cup, they got an away win against New England by (1‑3). In the last 7 away league matches Chicago has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times but have turned the score around in 2.

Chicago Fire have also had a patchy campaign, but they're coming in on the back of two consecutive wins. The good momentum boosts the team's confidence as they look to at least get a draw away from home. The team still has difficulties playing as visitors, but has shown progress in recent performances. The duel should be evenly matched, but the visitors are banking on their positive momentum to spring a surprise. A good result could put them in a more favourable position in the race for qualification. Their recent collective solidity is one of the keys to compensating for the disadvantage away from home.

Confirmed Lineup: Christopher Brady, M. Pineda, Andrew Gutman, Samual Rogers, R. Dean Jr, Jack Elliott, B. Gutierrez, Sergio Oregel Jr., Hugo Cuypers, Jonathan Bamba, Philip Zinckernagel.
Coach: G. Berhalter.
