Cincinnati and Chicago Fire will bring to the fore fresh targets for matchday 21 in the MLS when they face off on Sunday. Playing as hosts, Cincinnati start the weekend sitting second, while Chicago are ninth in the Eastern Conference. Below is our prediction for this match.
Cincinnati are just a point behind league leaders Philadelphia Union. They took advantage of Philly’s loss last time out and will be hoping this weekend plays to their advantage as well.
Cincinnati survived a late scare against Orlando City last time out to bag a 2-1 win. That was their third straight win, generating momentum ahead of this match.
Chicago Fire also had a nervy second half in their last match, at home to Charlotte. They led 3-0 going into the break, but in three second-half minutes, Charlotte pulled back two goals.
The Fire would then tighten at the back to see the match off, securing a 3-2 win. That marked a needed recovery after suffering back-to-back defeats earlier.
The visitors have lately had a poor run against Cincinnati, losing three of their last four meetings. The Fire have actually managed just one win in their last five games facing Cincinnati.
Having beaten DC United 7-1 in their last away outing will ignite the fire in Chicago.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire Prediction
Chicago Fire face another weekend of battling to hold on to a play-off position. Much of why they are still there is thanks to the poor results the teams around them have been posting. They recovered from two straight defeats last time out.
However, the opponents they meet are formidable ones, and this might not be a very comfortable match for either side. Our prediction for Cincinnati v Chicago Fire is for Cincinnati to win with a 1-goal margin.
