New York Red Bulls vs Chicago Fire Predictions

New York RB haven’t played since they were knocked out of the US Open Cup on the 12th June but head into Saturday’s game sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference and with three wins in their last five MLS games. Visitors Chicago Fire were also eliminated from the cup but played in the MLS on Sunday where their winless run was extended to five matches.

New York RB made the trip to Pennsylvania for their last MLS game where they and Philadelphia Union played out a five-goal thriller. Goals from Romero and White saw the visitors leading 2-0 at the break but this would turn out to be a game of two halves as Philadelphia Union scored three times in the final half hour to win the match 3-2. A tight and tense ninety minutes between Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake saw the two clubs share the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 draw. Katai put Chicago Fire into the lead in front of their home fans but a penalty from Rusnak in the thirty-third minute saw the teams head in level at the interval. Not many chances were produced in the second half as the game fizzled out and Chicago Fire’s winless run was extended.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and the performances of both teams since the middle of May, suggests that New York RB will win and that there won’t be many goals scored in Saturday’s match. New York RB have won three of their last six matches against Chicago Fire, three of the last five encounters between the pair have produced under 2.5 goals, and the last two meetings have ended 1-0. New York RB have won three of their last six matches, while Chicago Fire are without a win in their last six. New York RB have kept three clean sheets in their last six matches, which is why we’re backing New York RB to claim a narrow 1-0 win this weekend.

White top scores for the hosts this season with four MLS goals, while Sapong leads the way for Chicago Fire with six league goals to his name. We’re confident that New York RB will win this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts have a good recent record against their guests and head into the match as the form favourites and with three clean sheets in their last six attempts, while Chicago Fire are in the midst of a six-game winless run in all competitions.
