Soldier Field will host a highly-anticipated MLS clash as Chicago Fire aim to make it three consecutive victories after impressive wins over Charlotte and Vancouver Whitecaps. Gregg Berhalter’s men have found their rhythm at a crucial stage of the campaign, with Robert Lewandowski returning from suspension to strengthen their attacking options. Chicago are averaging 1.92 expected goals per home match in their recent sample, suggesting they should create chances against a New York City side that has struggled for consistency.
New York City, meanwhile, are desperate to return to winning ways after settling for a 2-2 draw with Atlanta United. The Blue Pigeons are also fighting to secure a playoff spot, but their recent form is worrying, with just one victory across their last 10 matches in all competitions. On a more encouraging note, they have been more competitive away from home, collecting 1.20 points per game on their recent travels. Baiera, Farnos and Moralez remain sidelined through injury, potentially limiting the visitors’ options as they prepare for a difficult trip.
Chicago’s momentum and Lewandowski’s return give the hosts the edge, although both defences look vulnerable. Chicago Fire to win, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score are appealing betting options.
This MLS match will be played on Saturday 10 October 2026 at 19:30.
