Chicago Fire at FC Cincinnati 9/21/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Cincinnati have struggled to remain competitive in their maiden season in the MLS. They are coming off another loss, and will now remain at home to play host to Chicago on Saturday. Chicago are coming off a nice win and are fighting to make the playoffs.

Cincinnati (6-22-3) played another weak match at home, where they eventually lost to Atlanta United by 2-0. They have been pretty bad this season, and lately, with five losses in their last six. But they only failed to score once in that span. They are still stuck at the bottom of the Conference with 21 points and the worst defense with 74 conceded goals. They also have the worst home record (3-11-1), scoring just 14 and conceding 35 goals in the process.

Chicago Fire (9-12-10) were sensational in the first half of their home match against Dallas, where they scored all four goals to win by 0-4. But they have struggled with consistency lately, winning just two of their last five. They are sitting at the 9th spot of the East with 37 points, three points behind the playoffs. Chicago have the worst away record in the Conference (1-10-4), and the worst offense with just 13 goals. At least they have scored in six of their last eight away matches.
