Prediction: 1-1
Chicago Fire
DC United will look to build on a 2-1 win over Cincinnati when they take on Chicago Fire on Sunday morning. The capita club are seven points behind the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Chicago. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but former Liverpool ace Christian Benteke remains in the recovery room.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Orlando City. Chicago Fire have been scoring goals for fun of late and given DC United’s attacking potential at home, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Hugo Cuypers, who scored a brace in the last league match, while both Brian Gutierrez and Dje D’Avilla are back from suspension.
