New England Revolution vs Chicago Fire tips and predictions

New England Revolution to continue march against Chicago Fire but no great value in odds

It won't be long after the 12:00am kick-off before the home favourites have established a stranglehold on the match. The total expected goals for the game is more than normal so this could be entertaining.

It's first placed New England Revolution welcoming 12th placed Chicago Fire in this MLS clash as the home team looks to add digits to the 38-point gap that separates the sides.

The hosts have reached 13 wins in 16 matches while the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 11 of their recent 13 matches on the road. They don't have the tools to manufacture many opportunities here.

Are these home players in any form at the moment? The Midnight Riders scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 18 matches.

Chicago Fire have had problems defending when not on their own turf. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 away matches. Some of those issues have been compounded at the other end of the pitch. Chicago Fire have only scored twice in their last 6 away games.

The betting markets suggest that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for New England Revolution. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting here.
