Chicago Fire at Atlanta United 6/1/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Atlanta United were not very stable in their previous match but luckily managed to take a nice win. They will now remain at home for their next match, where they will play host to Chicago on Saturday. Chicago Fire are coming off a mouth-watering draw on the road against DC United and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Atlanta United (7-5-2) scored an early goal at home against Minnesota United but it wasn’t easy. Even so, they scored twice in the stoppage time to eventually win by 0-3. They really needed that win after back to back losses on the road. Atlanta United are now sitting at the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference with 23 points, three behind the top spot. They have also been really strong as hosts with just one loss after seven such matches (5-1-1). Chicago Fire (4-5-6) took a two-goal lead on the road against DC United but had to score again in the stoppage time in order to salvage a point from that 3-3 draw. That means that Chicago are win-less in their last three and have won just two of their last eight (2-3-3). They are sitting at the 7th spot of the Eastern Conference with 18 points, one ahead of Toronto and one behind NYCFC. But Chicago have been terrible on the road once again (0-4-3).
