After a series of exciting matchups in the U.S. Open Cup, we've reached the final stretch, and the Quarterfinals will feature a high-stakes clash between Minnesota United and the Chicago Fire. This showdown is set to take place at Allianz Field next Tuesday at 7:00 PM EST. It's worth noting that the Men in Red have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning all three of their last matchups against Minnesota.

It’s also worth pointing out that Minnesota is coming off a 2–1 road win over FC Dallas in their last MLS outing, extending their unbeaten run to three games, with two wins and a draw. On the other side, Chicago is also coming into this one with momentum, having defeated Charlotte 3–2 in their most recent league match.

Our Minnesota United vs Chicago Fire Prediction

Considering that both teams have made a real effort to improve their form in Major League Soccer, at least over their last five matches, there’s a strong chance either side could advance. That said, if we look at the recent head-to-head record, Chicago has the edge, with three straight wins over Minnesota. Still, one of the most favorable bets is on the game finishing with over 2.5 total goals, especially given that their last four meetings have all gone over that mark.

Our prediction for Minnesota United vs. Chicago Fire: Over 2.5 goals.
