Chicago Hounds vs Old Glory DC Prediction: Hounds to take advantage of their turf

The Chicago Hounds and Old Glory DC will meet in the week 11 encounter of the Major League Rugby. The hosts come in as favorites, while the visitors are underdogs. How will this encounter end?

Chicago Hounds maintained their class last weekend, and this side picked up a 20-26 win on the road against league-leading New England Free Jacks. With that win, Chicago Hounds have now seen each of their last four games end in wins. In that run, Chicago Hounds defeated NOLA Gold, Anthem RC and Los Angeles Rugby. With their last win over the Free Jacks, Chicago Hounds have moved 3 points closer to the top spot Free Jacks. This season, Chicago Hounds have scored 27 points from 9 games, scoring 280 goals and conceding 224.

Old Glory DC returned to winning ways the previous weekend with a 13-10 win over Miami Sharks. In the meantime, that win made it their second win in their last matches, as other encounters saw them lose three and draw one. However, this side has not constantly struggled to maintain their class, as they have not been able to secure consecutive league victories this season. Despite that, Old Glory DC have picked 20 points this season from 9 games, positioning them in the last playoff spot.

Regardless of how their last meetings ended, the Old Glory DC are not the side we used to know, and they have consistently played below par in recent times. On the other hand, Chicago Hounds have shown character in last weeks, and their incredible performance against New England Free Jacks is a testament to what we can expect from this team. Take the home team to win withing the -9.5 handicap.
