On Saturday evening, at Soldier Field, two teams with contrasting recent records will meet. The Chicago Fire, who continue to impress by getting the job done, will take on a Sporting Kansas City side that is struggling to avoid defeat. The visitors will arive in the Windy City having lost five games on the spin in all competitions. That shock win away against the Galaxy clearly hasn't acted as a platform for further success.
The hosts are thriving both home and away, and having won two on the spin in their own backyard, they'll be expecting to take maximum points here. However, for all their recent home record is decent, it's not as if the Fire haven't given up chances, conceding a chunky 1.68 xG against Atlanta United in their most recent away game, and although SKC are struggling, someone like Dejan Joveljic is more than good enough to take advantage of such lenient defending, so if you're looking for a scorer bet this weekend, don't think twice about betting on the SKC forward at odds of +220

Our Chicago Fire vs Sporting Kansas City Prediction
We know that SKC aren't thriving right now, but they do have a major offensive weapon in Dejan Joveljic, who really would scored buckets of goals in a better team. For now, the Croat is playing with SKC, though, and even though the team are struggling, he continues to look dangerous. As touched on above, the hosts do give chances away, while Joveljic can score goals on the road, as he's already proved this season, notching away against the Galaxy.
Our Chicago Fire vs Sporting Kansas City Pick: Dejan Joveljic to Score.
