Match Preview

3rd placed New York City FC were held 2-2 in mid-week by 2nd placed fellow MLS Eastern Conference side Toronto FC, who moved top after securing a point. Saturday’s fixture sees them welcome the recently deposed leaders in the division, Chicago Fire to Yankee Stadium. Fire were themselves held 2-2 in Portland on Thursday, so the teams analysed in our New York City FC vs Chicago Fire preview certainly share some similarities in terms of form heading into an important top of the table battle.

The Citizens earned a credible point against Toronto on Thursday, but it could have been so much more. An injury time penalty, dispatched by Victor Vasquez denied the hosts all three points. Conceding goals has been a problem for manager Patrick Vieria: City have kept just one clean sheet in nine now, a record worth considering in our New York City FC vs Chicago Fire betting tips.

  • NY Red Bull 0-2 NYC
  • NYC 3-1 Minnesota United
  • Vancouver Whitecaps 3-2 NYC
  • NYC 2-2 Toronto

The away side are now unbeaten in ten MLS matches, winning an impressive eight times and drawing the other two. Something to note before our New York City FC vs Chicago Fire predictions and betting advice below are Fire’s goal statistics. They have the third best attack and third best defence across both Conferences.

  • Chic. Fir. 4-0 Orlando City
  • Cincinnati 0-0 Chic. Fir.
  • Chic. Fir. 4-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
  • Portland Timbers 2-2 Chic. Fir.

New York City FC vs Chicago Fire Prediction and Betting Advice

NY City have only lost once at Yankee Stadium in nine MLS outings – they are one the competitions strongest teams on their own patch. Fire’s record on the road is less than outstanding: a return of 2 wins from nine need improving, though they haven’t lost in six league games on their travels.

A draw seems a sensible prediction in our New York City FC vs Chicago Fire picks given the strengths of each outfit. 12/5 with Betsson is a great price for that eventuality, though taking over 2.5 goals at 1.51 with Betsson is definitely a safe bet.
