Chicago Fire recorded a massive win in their last match and bounced back from a bad beat. They will now remain at home for the second consecutive match and will play host to Minnesota United on Saturday. Minnesota United are coming off another draw and have been in mediocre shape lately.

Chicago Fire (3-4-4) were tremendous in their last match, as they destroyed New England by a strong 0-5 at home. Prior to that they were win-less in three consecutive and didn’t even score a single goal. Chicago Fire are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference with 13 points, one behind the playoffs. They have been quite strong at home so far, losing just once (3-1-2).

Minnesota United (4-3-3) got stuck at a 1-1 draw at home against Seattle in their last match. They have now remained undefeated in their last three (1-0-2) and have lost just once in their last six (2-1-3). Minnesota United are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Western Conference with 15 points, four ahead of San Jose and two behind FC Dallas. Minnesota have scored in all their away matches so far (3-3-0).

Minnesota United won by 1-2 at home last season and also won by 2-1 the first time these two met in 2017. Chicago Fire will not have an easy job here, as Minnesota United will probably score, and at least once. Chicago have been strong at home but they might struggle to keep a clean sheet. I will take the Over 3 Goals here.
