BTTS
DC United’s strike force has been doing a fine job this season and we’re convinced that with Christian Benteke in the starting 11, DC United will most likely find a way to score at Soldier Field. However, will Chicago Fire find the net? Well, if the first four MLS games for Chicago Fire are any indication, then yes, we will see coach Ezra Hendrickson’s boys will score.
They have both scored and conceded in three of their first four games and it’d be surprising to see a lackluster event at Soldier Field on Sunday against a team as poor in defense as DC United.
Draw or DC United
Bad luck follows coach Wayne Rooney’s boys this season. They lost so many points in games they deserved to win, it’s simply crazy. Our soccer experts say it’s time for change as our Chicago Fire vs DC United predictions give the edge to the visitors on Sunday.
Sure, Chicago Fire have the home-field advantage at Soldier Field but did it amount to anything positive in the first two home games this season? Not really. The first one ended with a bore 1-1 tie while the second one, immersive as it was, resulted in a 3-3 as Cincinnati and Chicago Fire shared the spoils on the 19th of March.

Chicago Fire odds: -114 – 52.0%
Draw odds: +270 – 26.0%
DC United odds: +315 – 22.0%
Wayne Rooney’s boys are such underdogs at +315 (22.0%) that even a draw is far more likely to happen. There’s a 26.0% shot that the two managers might share the spoils on Sunday. That being said, we have to be objective and say that at -114, Chicago Fire have the three points ripe for the plucking with a massive 52.0% chance.
Chicago Fire vs DC United Lineups & Team News
Chicago Fire
What an entertaining match Chicago Fire’s last visit was! Coach Ezra Hendrickson is undoubtedly happy with what he saw from his boys at DRV PNK Stadium. Inter Miami, who are rumored to be interested in international soccer legend Lionel Messi, got crushed by a 92nd-minute Kei Kamara winner.
Predicted lineup – Brady (GK), Navarro, Czichos, Teran, Souquet, Herbers, Gimenez, Mueller, Gutierrez, Haile-Selassie & Przybylko
DC United
DC United are trailing by only one point to Chicago Fire in the Eastern Conference standings – Chicago Fire have five while DC United have four. Wayne Rooney, being the ambitious manager he is, will go all-out on Sunday versus Chicago Fire as he strives to prove to his bosses he deserves a contract renewal. He and his boys have all the right in the World to be unhappy with how the New England Revolution match turned out. After all, DC United had more shots on target and more possession yet their poor defensive work gave New England Revolution a 1-2 win.
Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Jeahze, Birnbaum, Williams, Ruan, Hopkins, Klich, Durkin, Canouse, Benteke & Ku-DiPietro

Player to Watch: Christian Benteke
We all knew Christian Benteke isn’t going to need much time to adapt to his new surroundings when he joined DC United’s ranks. The former Crystal Palace and Liverpool star has been crushing it in the Premier League in the past but now is performing at a top-notch level for DC United. With three goals in the campaign, he’s among the key contenders for the top goalscorer award and he’s the player who Chicago Fire have to nullify if they want to gain anything out of Sunday’s match.
