One of Saturday's earlier Major League Soccer fixtures takes place at Soldier Field, where the Chicago Fire and the New York Red Bulls will lock horns. At first glance, given the rather poor form of the visitors, this may look like a massive chance for the visitors to grab three points, and the early market clearly agrees with that. However, the hosts haven't exactly been in flying form, and for all their openness, the Red Bulls do pack a punch, so this may not be straightforward for the Windy City boys as the early odds suggest.
The hosts have lost each of their last two fixtures in all competitions, conceding three goals in front of a home crowd last time out, making 'New York Red Bulls to Score Over 1.5 Goals' stand out as a viable option, especially at generous-looking odds of +142.

Our Chicago Fire vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
Make no mistake about it, what is a very young New York Red Bulls side is struggling for form, but that does not mean that the visitors will falter offensively. Michael Bradley's men have looked at their best in open games, where they can play on the break, and they should certainly be afforded the chance to do that at Soldier Field, where the hosts will absolutely push forward.
It probably won't be pretty from the Red Bulls defensively, and that's something that we've got to get used to, but offensively, they have more to offer than the early odds suggest, especially against what has been a leaky Chicago defense.
Our Chicago Fire vs New York Red Bulls Pick: New York Red Bulls to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
