Chicago Fire vs Orlando City Prediction & Betting Tips (30 May)

Chicago Fire currently find themselves on an 11-game winless run at the top table of the MLS, and five of their last nine encounters have ended in defeat. The contrast with Orlando City could not be much more striking, so all the signs point in one direction.

Chicago Fire have become renowned for keeping things tight on home soil, with 14 of their previous 18 top-flight fixtures, including nine in a row of late, serving up under 2.5 goals. A thriller would therefore seem unlikely against most opponents, but particularly against a Orlando City side that has been involved in 11 such low-scoring encounters across their last 14 trips.

When Orlando City come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the MLS seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Chicago Fire home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
