In MLS on Saturday, the Chicago Fire will get back down to business after only a few days off. The hosts played during the week, and it was a successful home outing against the Vancouver Whitecaps, with Gregg Berhalter's men winning by three goals to one. They're now looking for a third straight win. In contrast, the boys from the Bronx are searching for a first win in three, as well as just a second win in ten league games.
If you're the type of bettor looking for a likely winner that may still carry a smidgen of value ahead of Saturday's Major League Soccer action, then 'Both Teams to Score', at -175, as these two clash at Soldier Field fits the bill. Not only do the hosts have a fine scoring record at home, where they've scored in 100% of their matches this season, but the visitors rarely fail to notch on the road.

Our Chicago Fire vs New York City Prediction
As the stats above suggest, there's a strong chance that both the hosts and the visitors find the net in this game, perhaps a slightly stronger chance than odds of -175 would have us believe. A more accurate price would be -200. Let's face it, it's not as if the home team is unfamiliar with both scoring and conceding at Soldier Field, where both teams have scored in each of the last eight Major League Soccer fixtures.
Considering that the visitors also love to both score and concede on the road, odds of -175 are just too big to ignore.
Our Chicago Fire vs NYCFC Pick: Both Teams to Score.
