Chicago's players currently sit 3rd in the conference. The level of football on display has been very high. The result: 5 wins in a row. Last week they managed to get past Portland Timbers (2:1). That said, it's worth keeping in mind that Fire's players were playing at home.

As for the defence, everything is in order: 24 goals conceded in 19 games.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this match, the defensive qualities of both sides could take center stage. Orlando are well aware of their position. So the team is not planning to open up too much. And the level of their players, compared to Chicago, does not allow them to do so without running into problems. The Fire, taking into account their last match against Portland, could easily drop back into their own half and wait for counter-attacks. Our editorial team believes that the combination of these approaches could result in an extremely tight, congested game in midfield. With that in mind, we recommend a bet on total under 4 goals.
