Early Eastern Conference pacesetters Nashville SC will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the MLS season when they visit fifth place Chicago Fire in a tasty looking Saturday night MLS showdown.
Last weekend's imperious 5-0 destruction of Orlando City means that Nashville now have a three point advantage over Inter Miami at the top of the Conference standings. Just as impressively, BJ Callaghan's side have conceded only twice in their opening five games, giving them the best overall defensive record in MLS.
It has been an inconsistent start to the campaign for Chicago. Last week's superb 1-2 win at Philadelphia Union was easily their best display of the season so far. However, poor performances against the likes of Houston and DC United suggest that Gregg Berhalter's team still have plenty of work to do if they are to compete with the best sides in the Conference.

Our Chicago Fire vs Nashville SC Prediction
We're going with the hot hand in this one.
Nashville were unstoppable against Orlando City last week, and whilst the Fire will provide a much stiffer challenge, we think the league leaders will rise to the occasion and produce another top-class display.
Surprisingly, the home side are slight favorites for the win, despite their inferior league position and terrible recent record against Nashville. However, we can't see any value in backing them at just 2.33, so we are taking the road side to win at 3.00.
Our prediction for Chicago Fire vs Nashville SC is: Nashville to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
