New York City vs Chicago Fire Predictions

• There have been fewer than three goals scored in six of the last eight meetings.
• The visitors have conceded the opening goal in four of their last five matches.
• The hosts haven’t suffered defeat in any of their previous eight games.

The Champions are impressing once again

The hosts are presented with an opportunity to match their longest unbeaten run from last year’s Major League Soccer campaign. The reigning champions have picked up right where they left off as they’ve been scoring plenty of goals and boss Ronny Deila will be delighted with how his side have been performing. They currently occupy the second spot in the Eastern Conference and they welcome a Chicago outfit who are in a deflated mood.

The visitors were able to put an end to a streak of four successive losses when they drew away to the New York Red Bulls on Thursday, but it left a sour taste as it felt more like a defeat. They took the lead in the 89th minute through Xherdan Shaqiri but were unable to see it out and conceded just two minutes later. That summed up how their season has been so far, regularly failing to manage games and it’s something they need to sort out quickly.

Chicago to leave the Big Apple emptyhanded

We’d be exceptionally surprised if the visitors were able to come away with anything but a defeat here. They might be able to keep things tight but we’ll side with New York City FC claiming victory and fewer than four-match goals being scored.
