Kei Kamara to Score Anytime
Kei Kamara, 38, proves time and time again age is just a number. He’s aging like fine wine and if he continues bagging goals for his team with the same gusto, we just might see him in the top goalscorer fight this season.
Our first Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union prediction says Kei Kamara will find Philly’s net on Sunday. The chances are quite high considering his lovely brace against Minnesota United last week turned one point into three as Chicago Fire kept the three points to themselves.
Over 3.5 Bookings
Since DraftKings supply us with such tremendous odds for our Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union predictions, we think this one is worth the risk. After all, Philadelphia Union are one of the most frequently-booked teams around.
Coach Jim Curtin’s boys earned themselves 20 yellow cards and one red in the seven matches they played so far. Chicago Fire, on the other hand, were only a tad less reckless with their tackling as they saw 14 yellow cards and two red ones.
Seeing as neither side can afford to drop any more points, we’re sure the better part of the game will be a reconnaissance mission in which the two teams shy away from ludicrous challenges.

Chicago Fire odds: +180 – 34.0%
Draw odds: +250 – 27.0%
Philadelphia Union odds: +147 – 39.0%
Kei Kamara’s chance to score a goal on Sunday is orbiting around 35.6 percent. We’re sure that he’ll do just fine on the 16th of April as he scored five goals in the last two games alone. Anyhow, Philadelphia Union’s +147 odds make coach Jim Curtin’s boys the expected winners at Soldier Field with an unconvincing 39.0% win probability.
Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union Lineups & Team News
Chicago Fire
As we mentioned in our first Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union prediction, it’s Kei Kamara who was the big hero for coach Ezra Hendrickson last week when Minnesota United came to visit. The game at Soldier Field was going well as a first-half brace by Kei Kamara gave Chicago Fire a commanding lead but the performance dropped in the second half.
Predicted lineup – Brady (GK), Czichos, Navarro, Teran, Souquet, Hebers, Gimenez, Haile-Selassie, Gutierez, Mueller & Kamara
Philadelphia Union
Jim Curtin’s tremendous 11-5-6 record might receive a dent on Sunday. Philly’s last game was an energy-depleting CONCACAF Champions League match against Atlas. Surely, the game on the 16th of April will be a difficult MLS obstacle for Philadelphia Union to overcome.
Predicted lineup – Blake (GK), Mbaizo, Harriel, Elliott, Glesnes, Mbaizo, Anez, Martinez, Flach, Donovan & Sullivan

Player to Watch: Daniel Gazdag
We feel sad for Daniel as he should’ve been crowned best scorer in the 2022 MLS campaign. However, Austin’s sneaky Sebastian Driussi poached the prize underneath Daniel Gazdag. However, with 24 goals in 37 matches, Daniel managed to average 0.65 goals per game and that’s a performance and a half! Surely Daniel will help make our Chicago Fire vs Philadelphia Union predictions successful.
