Claim Welcome Bonus🏠 Chicago Fire: form and statistics
The Fire's present standing in the Eastern Conference is eighth with three wins, three draws, and two losses. Their recent form has been good yet precarious, having gone through the last five with a recorded WWDLD. They can't seem to win matches at home, and all three of their matches played in Soldier Field have ended in draws.
Most recently, Chicago have played to a 0-0 draw against Inter Miami; they owned 47 percent of the possession and achieved just 4 corner kicks. They committed 12 fouls, received 5 yellow cards, and had 7 shots on goal. The team boasts an offensive initiative but fails to get results.
Chicago is experiencing a little dry spell at home; they have now gone three without a victory. However, this may normally characterize them, having previously been known to score high in most matches. Of their previous eight outings, six have recorded over 2.5 goals, and seven have recorded both teams scoring. Interestingly, 9 out of 10 last matches recorded under 4.5 cards while the under 10.5 corners has landed in all their last 6 matches.
Just 19 years of age, the midfield wonder Sergio Oregel has started every game this season, controlling the tempo and impressing enough to be considered for the U.S. U-20 World Cup squad. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Chris Brady made headlines off the pitch when he refused to sign a Barcelona shirt postmatch, a strong indication of his loyalty to the Fire.
Chicago Fire Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup (4-3-3): C. Brady – A. Gutman, C. Terán, Jack Elliott, O. Glasgow – S. Oregel, M. Pineda, B. Gutierrez – J. Bamba, H. Cuypers, P. Zinckernagel
⛔️ Out: Sam Rogers, Chase Gasper, Chris Mueller, Leonardo Barroso, Jonathan Dean, D. Poręba
👤Head coach: Gregg Berhlalter

✈️ FC Cincinnati: form and statistics
FC Cincinnati are now lying at the 3rd position in the East standing with 5 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. They are in terrific form winning three in a row and are unbeaten in their last four. Their efforts to turn away from home have also been positively paying off; they just won their last away match after suffering two defeats.
They edged DC United in their last outing, winning 1-0, thanks to a goal from Gustavo Valenzuela. They were pretty poor in the possession last Saturday as they had only 42 percent, but the team managed to register 5 shots on target and relatively low discipline with just 1 yellow from 16 fouls. This points toward a well-organized and tough defense type of team.
Cincinnati is a master at these kinds of tight, disciplined affairs: Of their past 10 games, 9 have gone under 4.5 cards, a stat also applicable to Chicago. They have timed their momentum perfectly considering the recent unfortunate news over the past week regarding former striker Aaron Boupendza, who sadly died in China this week. The event weighs heavy on the heart but may serve to inspire greater resolve among the players as they honor their late teammate.
They gossip Thomas Müller will soon land in MLS or more specifically, FC Cincinnati, adding to the speculation about possible transfers. While LAFC is expected to be the most favored by this attachment to Bayern, Cincinnati really does have some interest in this move.
FC Cincinnati Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup (3-6-1): Roman Celentano – G. Flores, N. Hagglund, Miles Robinson – Tah Anunga, P. Bucha, Lukas Engel, G. Valenzuela, L. Orellano, D. Yedlin – A. Denkey
⛔️ Out: Yuya Kubo, Evander, O. Nwobodo
👤Head coach: Pat Noonan

💡 Chicago Fire vs FC Cincinnati Match Predictions 20 April 2025
According to stats, the game should have a combo of goals and cards: both sides have adopted an aggressive mindset buoyed by the rising xG numbers; add to that the emotional backdrop, and a real spice should emerge.
Cincinnati enjoys just a little bit better form, but Chicago's home dominance and tight recent games give this clash a bona fide chance for a draw, particularly because of Cincy's lousy away record.
