Chicago Fire and New York City will resume their league duties on Saturday night at Soldier Field. Chicago Fire will come into this clash in ninth spot in the Eastern Conference, looking to secure a final series spot. Mathematically speaking, they are in a great position, sitting just five points behind the fifth-placed Orlando City. However, realizing their playoff dreams depends on how they play their remaining games, starting with New York City this weekend.
New York City, on the other hand, sits above Chicago Fire in the Eastern Conference standings, setting up a high-stakes clash this weekend. They are two points ahead of Chicago Fire and can leapfrog Columbus to the seventh spot if they win on Saturday. New York City FC also has an extra game to play, giving them an advantage in the last-minute rush to secure one of the seven automatic playoff spots.

Our Chicago Fire vs New York City Prediction
Bookmakers anticipate a well-balanced matchup with Chicago Fire being the warm -107 betting favorites. They are enjoying a solid run at home, winning three of their last four matches. Their latest home assignment was against New England on Sunday, which they won 3-2, thanks to two first-half strikes. However, Chicago Fire's defense has been porous lately, which should motivate the visitors to play an open game. They conceded 10 goals in the last four games, including the embarrassing 4-0 loss in Philadelphia. Still, they should be strong enough to avoid defeat this weekend.
Our prediction for Chicago Fire vs New York City: Both teams to score.
