Chicago Fire have been really struggling to get wins lately and have actually not done so in almost two months. They will now return home after a lot of consecutive away matches and will host Atlanta United on Wednesday. Atlanta bounced back after a loss to Toronto and have been in solid form.

Chicago Fire (4-7-7) are coming off a really tough 1-3 loss on the road against the NY Red Bulls. That was their third loss in their last four, as Chicago are also win-less in their last seven matches in all competitions (0-4-3). They are now sitting 10th in the East with 19 points, four behind the 7th spot and the playoffs. They have been really strong at home though (4-1-4) and are undefeated in three months. Atlanta United (9-6-2) played a strong match at home against Montreal and managed to score a late goal to win by 1-2. They have been in really good form lately with just a single loss in their last six matches in all competitions (4-1-1). Atlanta United are now sitting a the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference with 29 points, three behind the top. They have been hit or miss on the road (3-5-0) and have three losses in their last four.

Atlanta United already won by 0-2 at home earlier in the season and have the upper hand in this match-up (4-2-0). In two previous matches in Chicago the two teams have split the wins. I simply cannot trust Chicago yet, even though I think that they will eventually turn it around. I will take the Over 2.75 Goals here, as both teams score a lot.
