Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers will face off at Soldier Field in the MLS on Sunday. Recent encounters between these teams have delivered goals, and we’re leaning toward both finding the net in this one as our match prediction.
Chicago Fire gave an excellent account of themselves in the Leagues Cup by winning all three of their matches to top the MLS table and book their spot in the knockout stage of the competition.
The Men in Red bounced back from two consecutive defeats with a 2-1 victory over Charlotte in their last league match, and now have the second-best defensive record in the Eastern Conference.
The hosts have earned 18 points from their nine home league games this season, but each of their last three matches against this opponent at this venue have ended in score draws.
Meanwhile, Portland won two of their three Leagues Cup matches either side of a 3-1 defeat to Club America. They finished in seventh place and will not be a part of the knockout stage.
The Timbers were in good form leading up to the cup competition. They won their last match 2-1 against the Seattle Sounders and are unbeaten in their last four top-flight games (W3 D1).
However, the visitors have only won two of their nine away league games this season (D1 L6) and are averaging two goals conceded per match on the road.
