Seattle Sounders vs Chicago Fire Prediction & Betting Tips (30 June)

Promotion-chasing Seattle Sounders have been in tremendous form on their own patch so far this season, collecting 19 points from a possible 21 in the MLS. Chicago Fire, on the other hand, have been struggling to adapt to life at a higher level, with a return of four defeats from seven trips doing little to enhance their survival prospects in a competitive second tier.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in recent Seattle Sounders home games at the top table of the MLS, with 19 of their previous 20 matches, including ten in a row of late, subscribing to this particular scoring model. Not only that, but 18 of the last 20 Chicago Fire away fixtures at this level have also produced no more than three successful strikes.

Over the course of their previous 14 matches in the MLS second-tier, Chicago Fire have been involved in a staggering 12 encounters in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has kept a clean sheet. Even more amazingly, perhaps, Seattle Sounders boast exactly the same record, so it would come as a major surprise were both teams to find the net in this clash.
