Chicago Fire vs New England Revolution — Tips & Analysis

Chicago Fire -0.25: Chicago need a win and New England arrive without the runner who makes their counter work. That is the heart of it. Chicago have tied their last four league games, 1-1 with Inter Miami, 4-4 at Toronto, 2-2 at Seattle and 1-1 at the New York Red Bulls. Another point does them no good with third and fourth in the East split by a single point. At Soldier Field they have won six of ten, scoring just over 2 goals a game and letting in more than a goal. New England have won eight and lost six of their last 18 games, and they score more than a goal a game. They have been the better side over the last month too. But Campana is out with a hamstring problem and Wynder is missing, with Yusuf a doubt. Campana's running in behind is where most of their away goals start. Both teams played on 10 September, so tired legs are a factor for each of them. A 2-1 Chicago win is the most likely score, and that is enough for this pick. The risk is obvious. Eleven of the last 20 meetings between these two finished level, and Chicago have tied four in a row. We think the home side's need for three points breaks that run.
