Chicago Fire vs Vancouver Whitecaps Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of the last seven meetings between these two clubs.
• Both teams have scored in five of Chicago Fire’s and four of Vancouver Whitecap’s last seven matches.
• Vancouver Whitecaps have won four of their last seven matches against Chicago Fire.

Chicago Fire began this tournament with a win over Seattle Sounders but then lost against SJ Earthquakes, while Vancouver’s two defats against those very same opponents means they have to win by two clear goals on Thursday to avoid finishing bottom of Group B.

Our prediction for both teams to score on Thursday is backed up by plenty of statistics. Four of the last six encounters between Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps have seen both teams score, which includes three of the duo’s last four meetings in the MLS. Both teams have also scored in five of Chicago Fire’s and four of Vancouver Whitecaps’ last seven outings in all competitions, so you can see why we’re backing both teams to score on Thursday as well.

As for a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 2-1 win for Vancouver Whitecaps as they have a good recent record against Chicago Fire and head into the match knowing they simply have to win. The Canadians have won four of their last seven meetings with Chicago Fire and have only lost once during that period. Three of those four wins have seen Vancouver score two or more goals and both teams score, which ties in neatly with our prediction for a 2-1 win this Thursday.
