The in-form Chicago Fire face a huge test of their playoff credentials on Saturday night, when they travel to Subaru Park to take on a Philadelphia Union side currently occupying second place in the MLS Eastern Conference. The Fire have three victories and two draws from their last five MLS fixtures, a run of form that has seen them move into the Conference Wild Card places. If Chicago can continue that fine run by taking something from their weekend trip to Philly, they will move to within a couple of points of the automatic playoff places. 

As for Philly, their disappointing 1-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls last weekend saw them overtaken by Cincinnati at the top of the Conference standings. Bradley Carnell's side have now won just one of their last four MLS matches, so whilst they are assured of a postseason place, they will need to swiftly regain their best form if they are to make a serious run at the MLS Cup.

Our Philadelphia Union vs Chicago Fire Prediction

Philly are strong favorites here, but the formbook suggests that Chicago have a solid chance of getting something from the game. The Fire are playing their best football of the season and look set to make a late run for an automatic playoff spot. In contrast, Philly are experiencing a slight wobble that has seen them lose top spot in the Conference. We're not going all the way and predicting a road win, but we do think Chicago have the quality to claim a point. Our prediction for Philadelphia Union vs Chicago Fire is: Draw.
