Chicago Fire host Columbus Crew at Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois on Saturday, Nov 7 at 10:00 PM in the MLS.
Chicago Fire come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Columbus Crew travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Chicago Fire won their last outing, while Columbus Crew suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Chicago Fire face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Columbus Crew have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Chicago Fire a slight edge, but Columbus Crew are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
