An improved DC United outfit will take to the field in front of a home crowd on Wednesday evening, when they'll host the Chicago Fire. For a while, it looked as if DC would be resigned to a place right at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but in recent weeks, the men from Audi Field have really turned a corner, avoiding defeat in each of their last five games, two of which they've won.
At times, Wednesday's hosts have looked a little more secure, though they didn't show that last time out, while they're now offering lots more up top, and that's key. Taking a more offensive approach, the DC boys are finding themselves involved in more high-scoring games, so we shouldn't be surprised if the goals arrive here, particularly given how fond the visitors clearly are of high-scoring games, with three or more goals being scored in each of their last six Major League Soccer fixtures.

Our DC United vs Chicago Fire Prediction
At the time of writing, this game is being priced as if it's easily the most likely low-scoring midweek game in Major League Soccer, but that just doesn't look right. Odds of -125 look rather generous indeed, especially when we consider how open the visitors have been.
The Fire can hurt teams, absolutely, but they're very poor at the back, while they way in which the boys from the Windy City generally play lends itself to goals being scored all round. This is why three or more goals have been scored in each of their last six games.
Our DC United vs Chicago Fire Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
