Chicago Fire vs DC United Prediction: DC United can pull off a shocker

Chicago Fire can now breathe a sigh of relief, after grabbing their first win of the season against Inter Miami in the last match. Now they seek for a second win at home, as they welcome DC United to the Soldier Field in the round 6 of the MLS. DC United are back with the same struggles of last season. They have gone winless in their last 4 matches and in all 5 matches, they won only 1, lost 4 and drew 1. Both teams will be chasing all 3 points in this match and it would be interesting to see how this ends.

Chicago Fire now have that first win they’ve been fighting for, after going without a win in the opening 3 matches. First they played a 1-1 draw with New York City and then lost 1-0 to Philadelphia Union and after that was the 3-3 draw with FC Cincinnati. Their last match ended in a 3-2 win against Inter Miami away from home. Chris Mueller and Carlos Teran opened the scoring for Chicago Fire in the 30th and 38th minute, before Franco Negri pulled one back for Inter Miami. Then in the second half, Nicolas Stefanelli pulled Inter Miami level before Chicago Fire scored the winner in the 92nd minute to seal the victory. Chicago Fire were poor in possession, taking only 33%, with 5 shots on target and 4 corner kicks.

Chicago Fire are currently in 12th in the eastern conference, with 5 points taken from 4 matches and their goal ratio is 7:7.

Team Streak:- without a clean sheet (6), first to concede (5/6), less than 4.5 cards (8/10), less than 10.5 corners (4/5).

DC United are also struggling at the moment despite showing signs of improvement on the opening day of the season. They won the first match 3-2, but lost 3 and drew 1 in the other 4 matches. Their last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against New England Revolution. DC United were first to score in the 45th minute through Christian Benteke’s attempt. But in the second half, the visitors scored two goals in the 63rd and 88th minute to condemn DC United to a defeat. DC United managed to get more possession (51%), with more shots on target (7) and more corner kicks (8) by the end of 90 minutes.

DC United are just 1 place lower than the hosts on the table. They are in 13th on the eastern conference table, with 4 points from 5 matches. They have a goal ratio of 7:10.

Team Streaks: - no wins(4), without clean sheet (13), more than 2.5 goals (5/7), both teams scoring (9/10), first to concede (5/7), less than 4.5 cards (9/10), less than 10.5 corners (4/5).

In total, Chicago Fire and DC United have faced each other 20 times before this match. DC United have 8 wins, while Chicago Fire have 5 wins and 7 matches ended in a draw.

• There were less than 4.5 cards in 8/10 meetings.
• There were less than 10.5 corners in 4/5 meetings.

Personally I had high hopes for DC United but unfortunately not much has changed since last season. Chicago Fire on the other hand have just come off with their first win but there’s no indication that there will be a follow up. DC United have the habit of scoring even in the most difficult games, so Chicago Fire cannot afford to not find the net here or they’re beaten. At Least both teams should find the back of the net once.
