Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union prediction: No victors at Soldier Field

Key Stats

  • Five of the last nine Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union head-to-heads ended in BTTS.
  • The two teams shared the spoils in four of the previous seven meetings.
  • Mikael Uhre is the 2nd-best finisher for his team, with six goals to his name already.

Correct score prediction: Chicago Fire 2-2 Philadelphia Union

We’ve seen goals galore in most of the recent games between the two teams, so we should see a 2-2 tie at Soldier Field this week.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Klopas’ boys will rise, bookies say

  • HOME: +125 – 42.1%
  • DRAW: +240 – 24.0%
  • AWAY: +180 – 33.9%

*These Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union odds are subject to change

We fancy Mikael Uhre’s chances of finding Chicago Fire’s net at some point in the game, as Philly’s striker has a 39.22% goal probability on the 4th of July. The expected winners? Chicago Fire, for some reason. According to the bookmakers, coach Frank Klopas’ players have the three points up for grabs, with a massive 42.1% win probability, but considering their recent behavior, how can we possibly expect a home win on the 4th?

Chicago Fire team news and form: Can’t get any worse than this

Coach Frank Klopas is walking on thin ice, as his team is at the bottom of the table in the Eastern Conference, with four victories, six draws, and 10 matches lost. Chicago Fire haven’t been performing well this season, which means our Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union predictions should succeed.

Predicted lineup: Brady (GK), Teran, Czichos, Souquet, Arigoni, Herbers, Gimenez, Gutierrez, Dean, Haile-Selassie & Cuypers

Philadelphia Union team news and form: Measly display by Philly recently

Coach Jim Curtin’s team is sinking lower and lower into the abyss. The team’s performance against Montreal on the 30th of June was an embarrassment as well. After all, Philadelphia Union had only 35.0% possession, which isn’t something the team is prone to.

Predicted lineup: Rick (GK), Elliott, Glesnes, Harriel, Wagner, McGlynn, Bueno, Flach, Sullivan, Donovan & Baribo

Player to watch: Mikael Uhre

We mentioned Uhre’s name previously in our Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union prediction. That’s because Philly’s striker is the 2nd-best finisher on the team. He found the net on six occasions, and seeing as Gazdag won’t partake in this event, we trust it’s up to Uhre to make the difference.

Second player to watch: Quinn Sullivan

Quinn Sullivan should also make an appearance for Chicago Fire this week. He is the leading creator for coach Jim Curtin, with five assists to his name, so we can’t wait to see how well he’ll do at Soldier Field.
