Welcome visitor It’s really hard to accept the Fire as the superior team in this game considering the fact that they have the worst record in the Eastern Conference and the second worst record on the MLS betting lines this year with just 20 points. However, what we have to remember is that this is a team which only has been defeated seven times in 23 games. These 14 draws have made for some ugly soccer, but it is high time that the boys from the Windy City wake up and take all three points from a fixture.

Scoring goals certainly hasn’t been the problem for Chicago. It has six goals in its last four fixtures, including a goal against Manchester United in the World Football Challenge, something that doesn’t always come easily.This is the start of a three game home stretch for the Fire. They also play five of their next six here at Toyota Park.Watch out for the combo of Dominic Oduro and Marco Pappa up front for Chicago. These two have a dozen goals between them this year. The problems have come in goal and in the fact that the rest of this offense just doesn’t exist, as no one else has more than three goals on the campaign.
Chicago Fire vs DC United Live Streams
Chicago might only have two wins on the year, but DC United’s form isn’t going to remain as sharp as it has been in recent weeks.United took care of the Vancouver Whitecaps 4-0 back on August 13th and drew Toronto FC 3-3 seven days before that. The team now has nine goals in its last three games, dominating stats by MLS sportsbook betting standards.
However, the problem comes on the other end of the pitch. DC has allowed 33 goals this year in 22 fixtures, and though it has done significantly better on the road with just 13 goals surrendered, its offense hasn’t made up the difference to make this a postseason contender.Something is definitely fishy about this line. It seems like, with 23 draws between these teams, that the draw should be the favored result. The Fire are definitely due though, and we’re going to back them on Thursday night to claim all three points for a change against a DC team that is playing over its head at the moment.
