Saturday 25th July 2015 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – USA – MLS Betting Tips
Chicago Fire will be looking to avoid a third successive defeat on Saturday night when they play host to New England Revolution when the two teams clash at Toyota Park.
Chicago have lost their last two MLS matches on the trot with defeats suffered against Columbus Crew in home and away encounters, but they have a chance to rectify this at home tonight where they hold an overall record of 5-0-5 12/10.
Despite five defeats at home so far this season, Chicago Fire have also registered victories over the likes of Philadelphia Union, Toronto, New York City, Montreal Impact and Seattle Sounders so they’ll be reasonably confident of overhauling New England as well.
Visitors New England put an end to their five-game losing streak last weekend when they secured a 1-0 home win over New York City which kept them on course for a play-off position. New England had previously crashed to defeats to DC United, Columbus Crew, Vancouver Whitecaps, FC Dallas and New York Red Bulls.
These five defeats consisted of four away losses, and when you consider their overall away record of 2-1-8 11/25 you can see why they’ve been struggling away from home this season to date. The Revolution have actually lost their last six away matches on the trot which is not a good sign even if they’re travelling to Chicago Fire.
In addition, New England have kept just one clean sheet on their travels, and indeed, they’ve conceded 2 goals or more on no fewer than nine occasions so far.
With this in mind, I’ll back the hosts Chicago Fire to grab the points tonight with odds of over evens behind them, as this could end up a 2-1 home win.
Pick: Chicago Fire straight win @ 2.20 Coral
