New York City FC desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 10 at 8:30 PM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Chicago Fire come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). New York City FC travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Chicago Fire face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. New York City FC have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Chicago Fire won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Chicago Fire clear favorites, but New York City FC have shown they can grind out results. Expect Chicago Fire to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
