Chicago Fire vs Charlotte FC Predictions

• Charlotte have lost eight of their 11 away trips, scoring in six of those losses
• The visitors lost 4-1 at home to Chicago last month

Chicago can bounce back

Injuries have taken their toll on the Chicago Fire, who head into this clash having suffered consecutive defeats. However, the hosts recently put together a run of four wins from five. They can recapture that good form this weekend, while they meet a Charlotte side who are offering little resistance on the road.

The visitors have lost 10 of 19 games this term, while they’ve suffered eight defeats from 11 matches on the road. They’ve won two games on their travels, which came at the sides with the second and third-worst returns in MLS so far.

The hosts have been handed a tricky start at home, so I’m willing to overlook the fact that they’ve only won once at their own ground. The Fire have won five of their seven games against sides with worse records than theirs, drawing the other two.

All seven of those games have seen both teams score, while Charlotte have seen BTTS land in eight of their last nine. The visitors have scored in a defeat on six occasions on their travels this season, so back Chicago to claim another high-scoring victory.
