Back on home soil having held Inter Miami to a tie on the road, which is far from easy to do, B.J Callaghan's Nashville SC team will take on the Chicago Fire on Saturday. After three straight road games, the hosts will be delighted to be back at Geodis Park, where they play their best soccer, winning each of their last seven home league games. In contrast, the visitors are far from always at their best on the road, where they've won none of their last three. It's not that Gregg Berhalter's men can't compete offensively, but at the back, they really do struggle to compete.
Looking at the recent performances of both teams, with the hosts doing a fine job of scoring goals on home soil, and with the visitors not exactly keeping it tight on the road, 'Nashville SC to Score Over 1.5 Goals' appeals a little more than a price of -160 indicates that it should.

Our Nashville SC vs Chicago Fire Prediction
In their most recent away game, the Fire defense looked all over the place, conceding four goals (and many chances) away in Toronto. Given that they've now conceded multiple goals in each of their last three on the road, the visitors could find it tough to contain a home team that has been scoring for fun at Geodis Park in recent weeks.
B.J. Callaghan's men know how to hurt teams on home soil, as we saw when they thumped in four against Cincinnati recently. They've now scored 11 goals in their last three home games, and on that evidence, they look well placed to score two or more here.
Our Nashville SC vs Chicago Fire Pick: Nashville SC to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
