Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls lock horns in a highly-anticipated MLS game at Soldier Field on Saturday evening. As Chicago have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win. Gregg Berhalter's men are eager to bounce back from a narrow 3-2 defeat to Cincinnati and continue their push towards the playoff places. Injuries remain a concern for the hosts, though, with Barroso, Franco, and Rogers all sidelined. Even so, Chicago have looked dangerous in attack, averaging 1.8 goals per game across their last ten outings.
New York Red Bulls, meanwhile, travel to Illinois after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to FC Dallas. The Metros have struggled badly away from home, failing to win any of their last five road matches while conceding three goals per game on average in that stretch. Former Bayern Munich striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is pushing for a rare start as the visitors search for a response. Recent meetings between these teams have often produced goals, with both teams scoring in 65% of their previous encounters.
Given Chicago's fine recent form and home advantage, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (both sides average at least three total goals per match).
This MLS match will be played on Saturday 9 May 2026 at 19:30.
