FC Cincinnati is leading the MLS Eastern Conference, though, in order to stay at the top, a win over the Chicago Fire is an absolute must. The odds suggest that the hosts are strong favorites here, but that won’t discourage the Fire to chase the surprise.
Before Betting on Cincinnati vs. Chicago Fire
The FC has one point more than Inter Miami and six more than Columbus, with two games in hand. After three triumphs in a row, the team from Ohio lost its previous event, which took place at the TQL Stadium in Cinci. Charlotte was better, 1-3.
Cinci’s matches are very efficient. Eight of the past ten have seen both teams netting, while the same number of events ended with three or more hits. What illustrates high efficiency is that seven events during this skid concluded with four or more goals.
Chicago Fire is on the decline lately, winning only one of its five events played since June 23. In three of them the Fire lost, while one, the most recent vs. New York FC at home saw a goalless tie.
Following a stretch of eight matches in which both teams scored, the previous two Chicago teams played ended with goals on only one end, with under 1.5 hits. That’s something that wasn’t so frequent in events.
Cincinnati vs. Chicago Fire Head to Head
