Chicago Fire welcome Orlando City at Soldier Field, Chicago on Thursday, Oct 29 at 1:30 AM in a MLS fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Chicago Fire come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Orlando City travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Chicago Fire won their last outing, while Orlando City suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Chicago Fire face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Orlando City have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Chicago Fire won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Chicago Fire a slight edge, but Orlando City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
