Philadelphia Union finished first in the MLS Eastern Conference, becoming the newly crowned Supporters' Shield winners. Their success led bookmakers to make them favorites to win the MLS Cup. However, although they didn't lose to the Chicago Fire and secured the title via penalties, it was widely expected that they would easily defeat Chicago at Subaru Park. Philadelphia was favored with over a 50% chance of winning in regulation time, but they ended up drawing 2-2.
This may be due to Chicago Fire's consistent performance in avoiding defeat at the end of the season: Chicago Fire is undefeated in their last seven matches. Against Philadelphia Union, Elliot's late goal offered hope. However, he missed his penalty in the shootout, squandering the opportunity to take the lead. Waterman was the other Chicago Fire player who missed, so they return to Soldier Field trailing in the series.
Philadelphia Union conceded just 35 goals this season, a commendable feat achieved by Bradley Carnell, who managed and revived a team that didn't even make the playoffs in 2024.

Our Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union Prediction
Iloski's second goal, which gave Philadelphia Union a temporary lead, was undoubtedly the most beautiful of the first leg. Following a first half in which both teams appeared content to wait and see each other's moves, leading to limited scoring opportunities, the second half exhibited a different pace, with both teams aggressively pursuing a result.
Also, recent Chicago Fire matches at Soldier Field have averaged a high number of goals; there's little reason to believe the pattern will change.
Our prediction for Philadelphia Union vs Chicago Fire is: Over 3.5 goals.
