Why Bet on the Chicago Fire?
The Chicago Fire has not performed consistently throughout the season. However, the team remains in playoff positions, something undoubtedly of great merit despite not being able to win consecutive games.
Currently, the Fire is in ninth place in the table, with a record of seven wins, four draws, and five losses, having scored 35 goals and conceded 29. As we can see, they have a great offense, but if they do not stop conceding goals day after day, it will be a difficult task for them to get out of the middle table.
Likewise, Chicago Fire arrives this MLS Matchday after two consecutive and convincing victories. The first one was against Orlando City (3-1), and the second one was against D.C. United 7-1.
Why Bet on Nashville?
On the other hand, we have Nashville, a team that has been fighting tooth and nail to be at the top of the standings since the beginning of the season. Currently, the team is in fourth place in the table, with a record of eight wins, five draws, and four losses, having scored 30 goals and conceded 21.
There is no doubt that this season can be successful for the team, considering their offense works well. In the same way, they have to win this kind of game against opponents that, in theory, should not be a concern.
Nashville arrives this Matchday after two consecutive draws, both with a score of 2-2, against NYC FC and Columbus Crew.
