Chicago Fire vs DC United tips and predictions

DC United looking serious in MLS fixture

You might think Chicago Fire can score eight times here but they are just too short to back.

In most quarters, the hosts are expected to win but they're not unassailable. Men in Red haven't made life easy for value hunters. They've lost 6 of their last 15 games as hosts. Those reverses have not been helped by their latest goal tally. They've scored one or less goals in 13 of their last 18 matches on their own soil which is a stat that will give supporters of the upset some confidence.

DC United have produced some commendable results. Written off by many, the visitors will embrace this challenge. They've scored at least once in all of their last 3 games and to have any chance of success they'll need to add to that average.

The outright win might be too much but they can grab something here. Perhaps a well contested draw is on the cards. Chicago Fire are the favourites and they will be eager to keep a clean sheet. It's not a strong view and it might not be that exciting but the No BTTS bet seems good. And in the total goals line, it's over 3.5 goals for this one considering the prices available.

The head-to-head results show that Men in Red have only won 5 of the last 20 games between the teams.
