NOLA Gold vs Chicago Hounds Prediction: Crucial encounter for the two teams

The Gold Mine will host the MLR playoff encounter between NOLA Gold and Chicago Hounds. The odds favor NOLA Gold, but Chicago Hounds will hope they can do well to see themselves in the semis. How will these teams respond here?

NOLA Gold are off an outstanding season, and they will now go all out for the MLR trophy. In the regular season, the NOLA Gold accumulated 50 points from 16 matches, the second most points this season in the Eastern Conference. However, their recent performances into this game saw them lose to the Houston SaberCats and Old Glory DC. In the meantime, this team secured consecutive wins over the Miami Sharks, Los Angeles RFC, and the New England Free Jacks.

Chicago Hounds will come into this game as underdogs, but they will hope they can get things right. In the regular season, the Chicago Hounds finished 3rd in the Eastern Conference standings with 45 points from 16 matches. Heading into this fixture, the Chicago Hounds have a three-game winning run, defeating the San Diego Legion, Anthem RC, and Miami Sharks. However, the road side has just one win in three meetings this meeting, and they will hope they can step up this time. 

Hounds could shock the NOLA Gold here, as we should expect the unbelievable in this fixture. Playoff games are tough to predict, and this game does not look different. Expect this game to give all the competitiveness we could expect from any fixture, but the Hounds should be able to cover the spread full-time.
