Chicago Fire vs Nashville prediction: Disappointing stuff at Soldier Field

Correct score prediction: Chicago Fire 0-1 Nashville
Seeing as the home team recorded only one win in the six official games against B.J. Callaghan’s side, we have confidence in our professional Chicago Fire vs Nashville predictions. Chicago Fire haven’t performed well at all this season so we don’t see them as a potential threat to Nashville.

- HOME: +105 – 49.3%
- DRAW: +250 – 27.7%
- AWAY: +270 – 23.0%
*These Chicago Fire vs Nashville odds are subject to change
As you can see from the odds, Chicago Fire are clearly the expected winners, with a 49.3% win probability behind them at +105.
However, we expect the visitors to get the three points at Soldier Field, not Chicago Fire. Coach Callaghan’s players have only a 23.0% win probability to brag about, but we still consider them favorites.

Chicago Fire team news and form: Winless Chicago keep on sinking
The team won only seven domestic league games. That’s not how you put up a title fight, as Chicago Fire are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table, with only 30 points to their name. Even if they win against Nashville, they still won’t be able to partake in the next round of MLS action.
Predicted lineup: Brady (GK), Omsberg, Czichos, Souquet, Acosta, Gimenez, Dean, Herbers, Lassiter, Gutierrez & Koutsias

Nashville team news and form: Nashville out
The visitors aren’t exactly thriving either. They only managed to scoop 33 points this season and won’t partake in the knock-out phase of Major League Soccer either. We expect them to go all-out versus Chicago Fire and put some smiles on the fans’ faces.
Predicted lineup: Willis (GK), Zimmerman, Moore, Maher, Lovitz, Muyl, Godoy, Yazbek, Shaffelburg, Mukhtar & Surridge

Player to watch: Hany Mukhtar
Mukhtar scored the only goal for his team in the last official Major League Soccer fixture. However, it appeared to only be a consolation goal, as Nashville got beaten to a pulp by sensational New York City. We still believe Mukhtar is a dangerous player and having him on the pitch is a big plus in favor of our professional Chicago Fire vs Nashville predictions.
Second player to watch: Hugo Cuypers
It’s sad that this will be Cuypers’ last MLS game this season. After all, he is the leading goalscorer for his team, with 10 goals to his name in 2024.
