Prediction: 3-1
Chicago Fire
DC United will be looking to build on a 5-0 victory over Montreal Impact when they host Chicago Fire at their Audi Field on Sunday evening. DC United are fighting hard to book their place in the play-offs and we predict that they are going to leave their hearts on the field against Chicago Fire. The capital club proved their worth in the triumph over Montreal and seeing that Chicago have nothing to play for in Sunday’s football match, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Veljko Paunovic’s men are not having a season to remember and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling DC United’s party at Audi Field. A man to watch in the home side will be former Manchester United Wayne Rooney, who scored a brace in the victory over Montreal.
