Cincinnati/Cincinnati
As much as we’d like to see the visitors bounce back, we believe they’ll have to be patient and wait a week or two more. Cincinnati’s 2023 MLS run has been pure magic. The team is sitting comfortably at the top of the table with a convincing five-point lead over Nashville and we’re sure Pat Noonan’s boys aren’t about to ruin their form with a surprise loss versus lackluster Chicago Fire.
Cincinnati have a thrifty 4-3-3 record against Chicago Fire so we are right to expect success from our Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire predictions this week.
Over 3.5 Goals
Anything less than four goals in the Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire showdown on the 4th of June will be a bitter disappointment in comparison to what we saw from the visitors in recent games.
Over the last four Chicago Fire games, we saw two 3-3 draws. The first one was versus Atlanta United at Soldier Field while the second was a visit against New England Revolution. With 25 shots at target in total, the game against Bruce Arena’s boys could’ve easily had more than six goals. Now you see why we are so confident in the success of our second Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire prediction.

Cincinnati odds: -162 – 60.0%
Draw odds: +300 – 24.0%
Chicago Fire odds: +410 – 16.0%
At +410, Chicago Fire are less likely to win on Sunday. Their likelihood is estimated at a measly 16.0% and that’s definitely not something you want to hear when you’re about to face the title frontrunner. That being said, you already know that Cincinnati are the expected winners with a massive 60.0% win probability.
Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire Lineups & Team News
Cincinnati
As we mentioned earlier in our Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire predictions, coach Pat Noonan’s boys are turning into title frontrunners this season. With a massive five-point gap between themselves and Nashville, Pat Noonan’s players will surely have confidence soaring through the roof against their rivals on the 4th of June. And that’s a massive plus in favor of the above-mentioned Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire predictions. Furthermore, Cincinnati also have a postponed game yet to be played which can turn a five-point gap into an eight-point hole.
Predicted lineup – Celentano (GK), Hagglund, Miazga, Mosquera, Barreal, Moreno, Nwobodo, Arias, Acosta, Vazquez & Santos
Chicago Fire
With coach Ezra Hendrickson no longer in charge of Chicago Fire, it seems that not much has changed in terms of results. Chicago Fire drew 3-3 in the match against Atlanta United with coach Hendrickson in charge and also recorded a 3-3 draw against New England Revolution in their previous visit without their now-former manager. Surely, something out of the ordinary has to happen for our Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire predictions to fail as the sheer class difference between these two is staggering.
Predicted lineup – Brady (GK), Navarro, Pineda, Czichos, Souquet, Gimenez, Torres, Gutierrez, Shaqiri, Haile-Selassie & Kamara
